The population included Muslims of various classes as well as Tyagi Brahmins, chowdhrys, and Jains. Zamindars, cultivators, weavers (Julahas) and block printers (Chhipies) were the main social divisions of its rather insular society.

When India was under British administration only Nehtaur had its own administration called the "Bara Topi Sarkar" 12 prominent and educated personalities belonging to the Syed community who were running their own Government completely independent from the British.

When Sir Syed Ahmad Khan visited Nehtaur and asked the zamindars for their support and donation for Aligarh College, he was impressed by the town and its citizens due to their positive response and called the town as "Danishmand" or wise.
