## History

[edit]

Maharajganj was originally called Drigbijaiganj, after a bazar founded by Raja Drigbijai Singh in the village of Atrehta And appointed Sheikh Shubhan, the Zamindar of Jihawa, as the Zilladar of Digvijay Ganj Bazar.Later, Sheikh Shubhan changed the name of the market to Maharajganj in honor of Raja Sahib.For years, the rule of Sheikh Shubhan and his descendants continued on the Maharajganj market.Shaykh Shubhan, whose ancestors were from the lineage of the first Caliph of Islam, Abu Bakr Siddiqui, came to India from Arabia via Iran in 11th century.In 1935, Sheikh Bashir Ahmed Siddiqui, the grandson of Sheikh Shubhan, got Maharajganj the status of town area from the then British government..[2] Drigjibai Singh was the Kanhpuria raja of Simrauta and the ancestors of the rajas of Chandapur.[2]

Maharajganj was made the seat of a tehsil in 1869 when Raebareli district underwent a major administrative overhaul.[2] The tehsil was made up of 6 parganas: Mohanganj, Simrauta, Inhauna, Kumhrawan, Bachhrawan, and Hardoi.[2] Maharajganj itself was in Simrauta pargana.[2]

At the turn of the 20th century, Maharajganj was administratively counted as part of the village of Atrehta.[2] It had the tehsil headquarters, a police station, a dispensary, a post office, an inspection bungalow, a cattle pound, and a large middle school.[2] The bazar then functioned as the main market in the northern part of Raebareli district.[2]

Maharajganj was first upgraded from village to town status in 1935, at the same time as Bachhrawan, Dalmau, Jais, and Lalganj.[3]

Maharajganj was declassified as a town during the 1961 census due to non-fulfilment of urban conditions.[3] It was recorded as comprising 4 hamlets, with a total population of 2,619 people (1,363 male and 1,256 female), in 626 households and 612 physical houses.[3] Its area was given as 169 acres.[3] It was described as holding a market twice per week, on Mondays and Fridays; the market specialised in leather and utensils and had an average attendance of about 2,000.[3] At that point, Maharajganj had a hospital and a post office, as well as the following small industrial establishments: 5 grain mills, 7 ,miscellaneous food processing facilities, 5 makers of clothing, 1 maker of products made from cork/bamboo/cane/leaves, 4 shoe manufacturers, 1 maker of brass and/or bell metal products, 7 bicycle repair shops, 15 makers of jewellery and/or precious metal items, and 1 manufacturer/repairer not assigned to any category.[3]

Maharajganj was returned to town status at the 1981 census.[4] At that time, its main imports were listed as brass sheets, cloth, and jaggery; the main items manufactured were brass utensils, leather, and pulses; and the main exports were leather, wheat, and pulses.[4]
