The town is said to have been founded by the emperor Ala-ud-din Alam Shah after his abdication in 1450. The only building of any interest is the mosque built during the time of Aurangzeb, which, however, contains a fragment of an older inscription dated 1307. Alapur is administered under Act XX of 1856, with an income of about Rs. 900. A market, held twice a week, is of some local importance. The middle school has 86 pupils.
