History

The name "Sandi" is said to be derived from the name Santan Dih or Santan Khera, which it received after Raja Santan Singh, a Sombansi king said to have ruled here until 1398, when he was defeated by Muslim conquerors and fled to Kumaon. [3] His fort, whose ruins still exist to the south of the modern town, had a deep moat, and the besieging Muslim army had little success until they dug a channel from the moat to the Garra. [3] The Muslims at first built a town southeast of Santan Khera, called Fatehpur Islamabad, but 22 years later it was abandoned due to disease and the site of Santan Khera was reoccupied. [3] It was officially renamed Ashrafabad, but the name never caught on and instead it was called Santan Dih or Sandi. [3]

Around the turn of the 20th century, the main mahallas were Saiyidwara, Salamullahganj, Munshiganj, Khalisa, Auladganj, Nawabganj, and Uncha Tila. [3] Uncha Tila was the site of an earthwork fortification built by Shuja-ud-Daula in the 1700s, a factory built by Europeans later on, and a chaukidar's fort. [3] Uncha Tila was the site of the tehsil headquarters when Sandi was originally selected as a tehsil by the British, although it was later moved to Bilgram. [3] Nawabganj was the site of the main bazaar in Sandi; smaller ones were held at Khalisa, Auladganj, Munshiganj, and Salamullahganj. [3]

The population of Sandi declined somewhat in the late 1800s, from 11,123 people in 1872 to 9,072 in 1901. [3]
