Bazpur is a city and a municipality in Udham Singh Nagar district in the state of Uttarakhand, India.
Bazpur is well connected with the industrial city of Rudrapur and the historical city of Kashipur. It is an affluent town, mainly due to large agricultural estates. It was initially, like most of the area which forms present day Udham Singh Nagar District, a part of the Terai, and was gradually transformed into arable land by migrants from Punjab. Most of the early settlers were those rendered homeless by the Partition of India in 1947.
It was in Bajpur that India's first co-operative sugar mill went into production on 16 February 1959.[citation needed]
