History

According to tradition, Auras was founded c. 1400 by Ram Mal, a member of the Ursaha merchant community from Sandila. [3] The Ursahas' trade routes passed through the area, and the site of what is now Auras was covered by forests. [3] Ram Mal cut down the forest and established a village here, which he called "Auras" after his tribe. [3]

Auras was originally part of Lucknow district, but the Auras-Mohan pargana was moved into Unnao district in 1869. [3] It was put into the tehsil previously based at Nawabganj; the headquarters were moved to Mohan at that point and then later moved to Hasanganj. [3]

At the turn of the 20th century, Auras was described as a small village that served as headquarters of the pargana of Auras-Mohan. [3] It had a police station, a road bungalow, and one primary school. [3] There were two markets held weekly, but they were not particularly busy, and the only local products were earthenware and a small amount of jewellery. [3] The population of Auras in 1901 was 1,535 people, including a Muslim population of 96. [3]
