Uttar Pradesh, known for its diverse culture and unique traditions, is home to numerous historical sites. It is the most populous state in India and has the highest number of districts. Each district in Uttar Pradesh has its unique features, contributing to the state’s distinct identity. Among these, one district stands out as the Cyber City. Let’s explore which district holds this title.

Additionally, the state has 351 tehsils, 17 municipal corporations, 826 community development blocks, 200 municipal councils, 5 special area development authorities, and 28 development authorities.
Kanpur, in Uttar Pradesh, is often referred to as Cyber City due to its significant technological advancements and infrastructure. Known for its rich industrial history and economic contributions, especially in the leather industry, Kanpur has evolved into a major hub for technology and business. This blend of historical significance and modern development makes Kanpur a key city in Uttar Pradesh.
Kanpur, formerly known as Kanhaur, has a rich history. During the time of the Nawabs of Awadh, it was formed from the merging of several villages, including Purana Kanpur, Patkapur, Sisamau, Kurswan, and Juhi. Following the treaty of 1773, the British took control of Kanpur and established a military cantonment there.
Kanpur is situated on the banks of the Ganga River and is renowned for its leather industry. This has earned it the nickname “Leather City.” The city also became a hub for indigo trade under British rule, and with the construction of the trunk road in 1832, it connected more efficiently with Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad).
