History

Inhauna is listed in the late-16th-century Ain-i-Akbari as a mahal in the sarkar of Awadh. [3] It kept this status under the Nawabs of Awadh, under whom a fort was built in the southern part of the village. [3] After the British annexed Oudh State in 1856, Inhauna was made a tehsil headquarters in Sultanpur district. [3] It lost this status in 1869, when it was transferred to Raebareli district as part of a greater administrative reshuffling. [3] Under this new arrangement, Inhauna became part of Maharajganj tehsil. [3] With the tehsil headquarters and police station relocated, Inhauna declined somewhat from a population of 3,974 in 1869 to 3,373 in 1901. [3]

At the turn of the 20th century, Inhauna was described as the only sizeable town in the pargana. [3] It was surrounded by orchards and had a post office, a cattle pound, and a middle vernacular school. [3] To the north of the road to Lucknow was a military encamping ground. [3]

The 1961 census recorded Inhauna as comprising 12 hamlets, with a total population of 4,024 people (2,017 male and 2,007 female), in 906 households and 854 physical houses. [4] The area of the village was given as 2,236 acres. [4] Average attendance of the twice-weekly market was listed as about 3,000 people. [4]

The 1981 census recorded Inhauna as having a population of 4,905 people, in 1,198 households, and having an area of 851.05 hectares. [5]
