The Jagdishpur Raj was a feudatory zamindari controlled by a cadet branch of the Ujjainiya dynasty. A local farmer Sahabjada Singh had served food to British troops during Buxar war in year 1764, later he was granted zamindari for his outstanding support to Britishers. It was situated in modern-day Jagdishpur, in the erstwhile Shahabad district (now in Bhojpur district) of Bihar.[1] The capital of the principality was the town of Jagdishpur by which the principality derived its name.[2]
