The village of Bahadurgarh lies in Lat. 280 40' North and Long. 780 7' East, in the south-eastern corner of the district, 78 Kms from Ghaziabad and 48 Kms from Hapur. From Wahabpur Thera, a village on the Garhmukteshwar-Bulandshahr road, a kutcha road about 3 kms long leads to this village.
The village was originally known as Garh Nana and was bestowed bu Jahangir upon Nawab Bahadur Khan, a Pathan, who changed the name to Bahadurgarh. About 6.5 kms north to this place(near Mustafabad) there are the ruins of a village known as Raja Karan-ka-Khera which is set to have been founded by Raja Karna (of Mahabharata fame).
The village was the original home of what has come to be known as Khurja pottery-an industry that was intriduced here from Multan about 250 years ago. It is also known locally for its handloom cloth. The products of the government dairy located here find a ready market in Delhi.
