Moradabad district

Moradabad district is an administrative region in Uttar Pradesh that spans the Ramganga river valley, combining agricultural land, industrial zones, and residential communities. The landscape is shaped by the river running through it, connecting diverse towns and settlements with different functions.

The district gained importance during the Mughal period when Rustam Khan founded the city of Moradabad in 1625 as an administrative center. This founding shaped the development of the entire region and established it as an important territorial division.

Metalworking traditions shape daily life throughout the region, with artisans working in small shops and workshops across towns and villages. The craft remains deeply rooted in local families, who pass their skills down through generations.

Access is available through National Highway 24 and the North Eastern Railway network, which connect the region to major cities. Good transportation options make it convenient to explore different parts of the district and reach nearby urban centers.

The district supplies brass handicrafts to markets worldwide, making it a major hub for this specialized production. Workshops here focus on detailed metalwork that reaches customers across many countries.
