The American Methodist mission maintains several girls schools, and there is a high school for boys. According to tradition, Badaun was founded about 905, and an inscription, probably of the 12th century, gives a list of twelve Rathor kings reigning at Badaun (called Vodamayuta). The first authentic historical event connected with it, however, was its capture by Qutb-ud-din Aybak in 1196, after which it became a very important post on the northern frontier of the Delhi empire. In the 13th century two of its governors, Shams-ud-din Iltutmish, the builder of the great mosque referred above, and his son Rukn ud din Firuz, attained the imperial throne. In 1571 the town was burnt, and about a hundred years later, under Shah Jahan, the seat of the governorship was transferred to Sahaspur- Bilari; According to Government of India, the district Badaun is one of the Minority Concentrated Districts in India, having 34 % of Muslim population, on the basis of the 2001 census data on population, socio-economic indicators and basic amenities indicators.[5] Today Badaun is progressing at a very high speed.
