This fort is situated on the eastern bank of the Sone River and was founded by Dhaud Khan, a Governor of Bihar under Aurangzeb in the 17th of Palamu fort from the Cheros; and it is said that while back from this conquest he camped here and founded the town known after him. The surrounding area was also granted to him as a Jagir by the emperor. Early in the 18th century Buchanan saw it as a flourishing town with cloth and opium factories. The sarai built by Daud Khan was, perhaps really meant to be a stronghold; for it was well fortified with a battlemented wall, two large gates and a moat all around. It was called as a sarai probably to avoid jealousy of the Government. The sarai was in good condition till a few years before 1896; for the Bengal list says that the gates were regularly shut every night. Ahmad Khan, grandson of Dhaud Khan, fortified the town which was then named as Ghausipur. The town also contains an old mosque and another sarai built by Ahmad Khan, which had mud gates. In the outlying part of the town called Ahmadganj is the tomb of Ahmad Khan.

Dawood Khan's fort was built during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan by his captain Dawood Khan Sahab..... The entire revenue collection of Magadha region was under these.....

Daudnagar is located at 25.03°N 84.4°E.Daudnagar is situated on the bank of the Son River and NH139 passes through the town. It is situated 30 kilometres (19 mi) away from the district headquarter Aurangabad where crosses old NH2 now NH19 (GT Road). The Indrapuri Barrage canal also passes through the town. The 2.9 km 4 lane Sone bridge which connects Daudnagar on the southern bank with Nasriganj on the northern bank of the Sone River and is located around 105 km southwest of Patna was inaugurated on February 16, 2019, by the then District Magistrate cum Collector of Aurangabad district. The Sone Bridge eases traffic and reduce the distance between Rohtas and Gaya by 60 km and between Patna and Rohtas by 70 km. Traffic coming from the western part of the country and entering Bihar for onward journey to Jharkhand and other eastern states bypass the busy traffic of Patna, saving precious time and fuel. The Son bridge benefits the entire Buddhist circuit as the distances between Kushinagar and Bodhgaya is reduced by 65 km providing an alternate route that currently passes through the congested roads of Patna and Gaya.
