Nawada is a town situated in the Magadh division of south Bihar
.Previously, it was coming under Gaya. According to the 2011
census, Nawada city has a population of 109,141. Nawada has

a.HISTORY
The origin of the name Nawada is believed to lie in a corruption
of the old name Nau-abad or the new town which was earlier
known as The Eliot Market (Bazaar). Before its acquisition by
the East India Company, Nawada was ruled by the nearly
independent Rajas of Hisua, and after its acquisition it was the
center of great disorder till 1845, when it became the
headquarters of the newly created subdivision. The elements of
disorder came to fore again during the Mutiny of 1857, when
Nawada was overrun by marauding parties. The local offices
were destroyed, but Government records were saved by the
native officials who hid them in a cave in a neighboring hill.
These are the only available public records dating back to an
era before 1857, in the district.
