Akbar was the first Mughal ruler who established civil administration in Saharanpur and made it `Saharanpur-Sarkar` under Delhi province and appointed a Governor. The Jagir of saharanpur was honoured to Raja Sah Ranveer Singh who founded the city of Saharanpur. At that time Saharanpur was a small village and served as army cantt area.
