During the period of King Tarasingh (the eighth generation from Raja Anup Singh) this area progressed much.

At that time the area was known for Ayurvedic medicine specially pandey clan vaidyas which was blessed by Ashwatthama and for business by boats in northern India.

In the 18th century when the Mughal empire set into a decline and the former satraps attained the status of suzerain rulers Anupshahr came to be located on the western periphery of the 'Nawabi' of Oudh (Avadh) and became an important garrison.

Though the Nawab of Oudh soon lost control of the area, this small town long remained a cantonment of sorts.

The Lord of Dadri and Sikandrabad destroyed inspection bungalows, telegraph offices and government buildings as they were symbols of foreign rule.

The Pardada Pardadi Educational Society, based in the town, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the academic, economic and social empowerment of girls and women.
