Fyzabad, Or Bangla, a town of British India, in the province of Oude, on the right bank of the Gogra, which in the rainy season is here sometimes 1 1/2 m. wide, 73 m. E. of Lucknow; pop. estimated at 100,000. It was founded by Saadat Ali Khan, first vizier of Oude, and was beautified by his successors, particularly by Surajah Dowlah, under whom it became the capital instead of the ancient city of Oude or Ayodha, adjoining it on the southeast. In 1775 the seat of government was removed to Lucknow. Since that time the deserted city has been falling to decay, and its population is rapidly decreasing. The only manufactures of consequence are cloth, hardware, and arms.
