As per medieval history Rampur was the part of Delhi and was divided between Badaun and Sambhal
districts. Being situated on upperside of Rohilkhand, it was known by the name Kather and was ruled by Katheria Rajputs. The Katheria Rajputs fought for about 400 years with the rulers of Delhi and later with Mughals. They fought with Naseeruddin Mahmood in 1253, Gaisuddin Balwan in 1256, Jalaluddin Firoz in 1290, Firoj Shah in 1379 & Sikander Lodhi in 1494. In the beginning of Moghal period the capital of Rohilkhand was changed from Badaun to Bareilly and hence the importance of Rampur increased.
