History
Nasirabad is named after an English officer Sir David Ochterlony, who was honoured with the title Nasir-ud-Daula ("Defender of the State") by Mughal emperor Shah Alam II. The city is known for its cantonment, where many army soldiers and officers are posted. Also, this is the second station in Rajputana, after Beawer, where missionary work started during the 1860s plague epidemic.
