Wikipedia states that Laxmangarh was founded in 1807 by Rao Raja Laxman Singh of Sikar, who also built the fort. The town should not be confused with Lachhmangarh in Alwar district.

Why it matters
Why Laxmangarh Fort is worth your time
Laxmangarh shows how Shekhawati rulers planned small towns around a fort and a market. Its founder, Rao Raja Laxman Singh of Sikar, laid out the town in 1807, and the fort still dominates the streets.
For visitors with an interest in Rajasthan beyond the headline cities, it is an easy way to see an everyday fort town that is not overrun with tourists. The visit is brief and unpolished, which is part of its appeal: you see a working market, a clock tower and a fort that locals walk past daily, and you leave with a clearer picture of how Sikar's rulers shaped the district.
