[citation needed] Nowgong is well connected by roads and is on National Highway 39 about 110 km away from Jhansi.

The city was an important center during British rule when it was the headquarters of the Bundelkhand Agency.

The town hosted a military cantonment with accommodation for all forces, the Kitchener College (for soldiers being trained to become officers), and had a school for the wards of the chiefs of Central India (1872–1898), in addition to being the headquarters of the Political Assistant of the Agency.

Cantonment of Nowgong was established in 1842–43 when Kaitha in the Hamirpur was given up to British ruler.
