What do you know about a town called Jayas in Uttar Pradesh, India?

Question

I understand that the Jaiswal community has a link to this town and the details are at Jaiswal Community blog http://ejaiswal.blogspot.com

Answer 1

Jais or Jayas is an ancient city in the district Raebareilly of Uttar Pradesh. Once upon a time it was the capital of King Udyan. Malik Mohammad Jaisi a great poet belonged to this place. In his memory "Jaisi Samrak" has been constructed there.

Not much is known about the origin of the Jaiswal community. It is likely that their ancestors hailed from the town, 'Jayas' in Uttar Pradesh and hence came to be known as 'Jayaswalas' or "Jayaswals" or "Jaiswals".
