Popular Village- Jadounpur is a village which was established in 1873 AD by two families, one of the Bajajas (Kade Ansari) and the other of the Chaudhdharis (unknown). Bajaj means one who sells clothes, and Chaudhdhari is interested in politics. Both these families are Ansari by caste and Muslims by religion. It is very popular for its growing marketing and business. According to historians of the 19th century, it was clearly observed that there were some inter-caste groups of Kurmi clans known as Jadon (Kurmi), who are similar to Gangwar and intermarry. These were the initial settlers in this village.
