Ferozepoor, a town of British India, in the Punjaub, about 3 m. S. of the river Ghara, 45 m. S. S. E. of Lahore; pop. about 10,000. The ruins which surround it show that it was once a large city. It came into possession of the British in 1835, since when it has been greatly improved, and bids fair to become of considerable military and commercial importance. In May, 1857, during the sepoy rebellion, a regiment of native infantry revolted, but were driven out of the fort by a handful of Europeans, and fled after plundering and burning the houses, hospitals, and church. In August following a regiment of cavalry revolted, but after killing several persons were repulsed and dispersed.
