Name

Local folk etymology derives the name "Bewar" from the ber plant, hence the local pronunciation "Berwar". [2] : 191–2  According to Paul Whalley, the name is instead derived from the Sanskrit word vyāpāra , which means business, trade, or commerce, and in this case would denote a place where commercial activity takes place. [3] : 51

Bewar is located about 27 km east of Mainpuri, the district headquarters, at the crossroads with the Etawah-Farrukhabad highway. [2] : 191  Bhongaon, the tehsil headquarters, is 13 km away. [1] : 313 

History

At the turn of the 20th century, Bewar was both a tehsil and pargana headquarters. It was noted for its "fairly large and important bazar", where numerous shops did business selling cloth, grain, and sweets. Bewar then had a police station, schools for boys and girls, a post office, and a military encampment. The Bewar branch canal had been constructed in 1880, and a telegraph office had been set up at Bewar, both to coordinate water flow at regulators and escapes and also for general public use. At the time, the village of Bewar included 6 hamlets, with a total population of 4,209 people. [2] : 49, 140, 191–4
