During the rule of Sher Shah Suri (1486 - 1545 CE), Aurangabad became strategically important as part of the Rohtas Sirkar (district).

The first Member of Parliament from the district was the former Chief Minister of Unified Bihar, Satyendra Narayan Singh (Chhote Saheb).

Aurangabad town is located in north east India on the NH 2 (now NH19 – Grand Trunk Road) at its crossing with NH98 (now NH139).

Other rivers such as the Punpun, Auranga, Bataane, Morhar, and Madaar also flow through Aurangabad district.

[6] With rapid industrialisation, Aurangabad has secured 4th position in most improved districts by Niti Aayog.

Auranagabad is also famous for strawberry cultivation which helps local farmers to boost their economy and generates jobs for the villagers, who no longer need to migrate in search of livelihood.
