It is the headquarters of the eponymous Buxar district, as well as the headquarters of the community development block of Buxar, which also contains the census town of Sarimpur along with 132 rural villages.
The historic Battle of Chausa and Battle of Buxar were fought in this vicinity.

It is approximately 125 km from the state capital of Patna. Bhojpuri is the widely spoken language in Buxar.
According to local traditions, the name Buxar is derived from a lake in the town named Aghsar (effacer of Sin), which in course of time became Baghsar and took the present form that is Buxar. Another vedic legend states that, a sage or rishi named Besira transformed himself to take the look of a Tiger to frighten Durvasa rishi, and doomed by him to retain the form of Tiger forever. In order to restore his Human's form, Bedsira bathed in the holy pond of Aghsar and worshipped Gaurishankar. To commemorate this event the spot was called Vyaghrasar and later became Baghsar (The Tiger's pond). [5]
