Baghpat (बागपत) is a district in western Uttar Pradesh, India, with its headquarters in Baghpat town. It lies along the Yamuna River, close to Delhi and Haryana, and forms part of the National Capital Region. The district is known for its agricultural landscape, especially sugarcane cultivation, and its links with the wider Delhi region.
Hindi is widely spoken, alongside local speech associated with western Uttar Pradesh. Village communities, farming traditions and religious festivals shape everyday life. Agriculture, sugar processing, trade and small businesses support the economy. Baraut is an important commercial town, while the Jain temples at Bada Gaon and the Puramahadev temple are notable religious landmarks.
Common civic concerns include reliable irrigation, timely payments to sugarcane growers, roads, public transport and access to healthcare and education. Residents also have a stake in drainage, sanitation, clean water and employment opportunities, particularly as development connects rural settlements more closely with nearby urban centres.
