Feroze Shah Tughlaq constructed a fort here and called it Hissar-e-Firoza (fort of Feroze) and dug canals from the Yamuna and Ghaggar rivers to irrigate the dry land. It is a grand structure complete with a basement and a mosque. He built a mosque called Lat ki Masjid. Humayun built a Masjid at Fatehbad, near Hissar town.Â
During the reign of Emperor Akbar it was made the headquarters of the district earlier controlled by Feroze Shah. And during the early 19th century the British took Hissar under their charge along with the rest of
Haryana.Â
