According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India the founder of Anupshahr was the bargujar clan of Rajput Raja named Anup Singh Badgujar, and thus the date of foundation of present-day Anupshahr was between 1605 and 1628 (during the reign of the Moghul emperor Jahangir). Raja Anup Singh Badgujar saved Jahangir during a lion hunt, by intercepting and then helping to kill a lion that attacked the emperor. Jahangir presented this area to Raja Anup Singh Badgujar, and the city is named after him. Anup Singh Badgujar built a fort nearby.

During the period of King Tarasingh (the eighth generation from Raja Anup Singh) this area progressed much. At that time the area was known for Ayurvedic medicine specially pandey clan vaidyas which was blessed by Ashwatthama and for business by boats in northern India.

In the 18th century when the Mughal empire set into a decline and the former satraps attained the status of suzerain rulers Anupshahr came to be located on the western periphery of the 'Nawabi' of Oudh (Avadh) and became an important garrison. Though the Nawab of Oudh soon lost control of the area, this small town long remained a cantonment of sorts.

In 1857, during the first war of independence the town of Anupshahr was the scene of incidents against British rule.
