Inhauna is a village in the Singhpur block of Rae Bareli district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[2] As of 2011, it has a population of 13,049 in 2,021 households.[2]

Located at the junction of the Raebareli-Rudauli and Lucknow-Jaunpur roads, Inhauna is an old town that once served as the seat of a pargana and briefly as a tehsil. It has the ruins of an old fort built under the Nawabs of Awadh.[3]

The old marketplace, known as Ratanganj, was built in 1863 by the tahsildar Ratan Narain.[3] Markets are held twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, with most of the trade focused on livestock.[4]

History

Inhauna is listed in the late 16th-century Ain-i-Akbari as a mahal in the sarkar of Awadh.[3] It retained this status under the Nawabs of Awadh, during which a fort was constructed in the southern part of the village.[3] After the British annexed the Oudh State in 1856, Inhauna was designated as a tehsil headquarters in the Sultanpur district.[3] However, it lost this status in 1869 when it was transferred to the Raebareli district as part of a broader administrative reorganisation.[3] Following this change, Inhauna became part of the Maharajganj tehsil.[3] With the relocation of the tehsil headquarters and police station, Inhauna experienced a decline in prominence, with its population decreasing from 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] North of the road to Lucknow was a designated military encampment ground.[3]

The 1961 census recorded Inhauna as consisting of 12 hamlets, with a total population of 4,024 people (2,017 males and 2,007 females) in 906 households and 854 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was recorded as 2,236 acres.[4] The average attendance at the twice-weekly market was approximately 3,000 people.[4]

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