History

The late 16th-century Ain-i-Akbari lists Aihar as a division of the sarkar of Lucknow. [3] At the turn of the 20th century, Aihar was described as a large farming village, but one that was unremarkable apart from its size and age. [3] It consisted of five mahals, each one held separately in zamindari tenure. [3] Four were held by Bais Rajputs and the other one (the smallest) was held by a Brahmin. [3] Aihar's population was recorded as 2,442 at the 1901 census, including a large proportion of Brahmins. [3] The village had a large primary school and a market held twice per week. [3] It was noted that the name "Aihar" was considered unlucky to say, and locally it was also called Nuniagaon. [3]

The 1961 census recorded Aihar as comprising 12 hamlets, with a total population of 3,157 people (1,599 male and 1,558 female), in 609 households and 550 physical houses. [4] The area of the village was given as 2,683 acres. [4] It had a post office and a government-run dispensary then. [4] Average attendance of the Baleshwar mela was listed as about 400 people at the time, and attendance of the twice-weekly market was about 100. [4]

The 1981 census recorded Aihar as having a population of 4,707 people, in 919 households, and having an area of 1,085.78 hectares. [5]
