Asmat Malihabadi, founder of Josh Academy and a relative informed that perhaps Malihabad is named after Qazi Maleeh (their descendants still reside in Malihabad) whose mazar or grave is at Dudhiya Shareef, a burial ground of those with a refined soul. [5]

Malihabad was historically the seat of a pargana, as mentioned in the Ain-i-Akbari.[3] At the time of Shah Jahan it was colonized by Ammanzai Pathans, who became the primary landowners.[3] During the reign of Safdarjung, the Pathan landlords Yaar Beg Khan Afridi, Baaz Khan Afridi, Karam Khan Afridi and others were granted a part of Malihabad, known as Kawalhar. In 1257H Nawab Faqir Muhammad khan Goya Grandson of Yaar Beg Khan Afridi became the commander-in-chief in the army of Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar Shah.[2] He became enamored with Malihabad and requested permission from the Nawab to grow mangoes here, thus establishing the first mango plantation in Malihabad[2]
