It used be the forest of Madhu but Rama

brother Shratrughna established the town.

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 9.11.13-14

śatrughnaś ca madhoḥ putraḿ
lavaṇaḿ nāma rākṣasam
hatvā madhuvane cakre
mathurāḿ nāma vai purīm

Śatrughna had two sons, named Subāhu and Śrutasena. When Lord Bharata went to conquer all directions, He had to kill many millions of Gandharvas, who are generally pretenders. Taking all their wealth, He offered it to Lord Rāmacandra. Śatrughna also killed a Rākṣasa named Lavaṇa, who was the son of Madhu Rākṣasa. Thus He established in the great forest known as Madhuvana the town known as Mathurā.
