## History

[edit]

According to tradition, the spot now occupied by Jhalotar was once a dhak jungle where a faqir named Mushtaq Shah lived.[2] A Chamar man also built a house nearby, made a clearing, and started a village called "Jhali" here; the name later became Jhalotar.[2] Jhalotar is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as the seat of a pargana, and at some point the Subahdar of Awadh built a fort here.[2] In 1770, Beni Bahadur Kayasth, the minister of the Nawab of Awadh, was granted a jagir in the Jhalotar pargana, which was split off to become a new pargana based at Ajgain.[2] The two parganas were merged again under the British Raj.[2] At the turn of the 20th century, Jhalotar was described as a small village with a population of 682.[2] It hosted a small market once per week.[2]

The 1961 census recorded Jhalotar as comprising 1 hamlet, with a total population of 854 (445 male and 409 female), in 164 households and 153 physical houses.[3] The area of the village was given as 432 acres.[3]
