Awagarh is a historic town and a Municipality Council (नगर पालिका परिषद) in Etah district[1] in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a tehsil of many colours and contrasts. Here stands a 108-acre pristine fort of Jadon rulers of the Kshatriya clan, who after migration from Karauli had built this magnificent fortress in the 12th century on a tiny mound, claiming the biggest moat encircling around it.[2] The fort, surrounded by lush green fields, is an ideal destination for nature lovers and a perfect getaway from a chaotic city life.

Raja Balwant Singh Ji of Awagarh,[3] built a college named after him as Raja Balwant Singh College at Agra. He donated hundreds of acres of land to the college. He also helped Rabindra Nath Tagore to set up Shantiniketan. This city ranked first in district in Swachh Bharat Mission (Sahari) 2019 and second in state.

Awagarh is the largest town after the district.
