There is also a mosque in the city which was built by Gais-ud-Din Balban, according to the Arabic inscription on the mosque, the mosque was built during 1283 AD. Garhmukteshwar is a part of the Tirtha Tanga (Kaushik Tyagi) area, which has a Sati temple near the Sanskrit school. Tirthaal Tyagi was the owner of this shrine, due to which 12 villages of Garhmukteshwar, Tigiri, and surrounding areas came to be called pilgrimage. Tirthaal Tiga was originally Kaushik Brahmin of Pahrawar from nearby Bhiwani, Haryana. He also established Tambari village along with Garhmukteshwar. 

At the time of independence, it was under the district of Meerut and Meerut had only two tahsils, one of which was Meerut by the tehsil whereas the other was Hapur tehsil. Once Mahatma Gandhi had formed a committee through which he occupied Meerut's collector seat and the Tahsil seat of Hapur, and made Chhodhari Raghuveer Narayan Tyagi (Raja of Asaurah Jagir) as Collector and Atar Singh as Tehsildar of Hapur tahsil.
