HISTORY OF THE REGION
The district Mahrajganj is famous for its charming forests, vegetables and green plants of paddy in the fields. Ancient history of the district is almost unknown. Mahrajganj was a tahsil of Gorakhpur. It became a district in October, 1989 and as such its history can be associated with that of Gorakhpur. In the epic period, this region was known as 'Karapath' which was the part and parcel of the 'Kosala kingdom'. It seems that an ancient emperor 'Ekshvaku' of Ayodhya, founder of the Suryavans was the ruler of this area. The emperor of this dynasty, Ram in his lifetime handed over the dominion of this area to his son 'Kusha'. After the Mahabharat era, the revolutionary changes took place in this whole area. There were various small 'Ganatantra' (Republic) under the control of the Kosala's emperors in which the Ganatantra of Sakya's and Kolio's were stretched on the boundaries of the present Mahrajgnj district. According to a pilgrim of China named Hiuen-Tsang, Lumbini was twenty two miles far from Ramgram. The both pilgrims Fa-Huien and Hiuen-Tsang have given vivid description about the stup erected on the bones of Buddha and the push Karani stationed in the back side of the stup. Kolio's were also related with the Dev Daha Nagar. Mahamaya, the mother of Lord Gautam Buddha and mother’s sister Maha Prajapti Gautami were daughters of Sakya Chief Angan of Dev Daha who belonged to Nichlaul now a tahsil of Mahrajganj.

The period between the rise of the Guptas and downfall of Magadh supremacy is like a dark-ages in the history of the district. It appears that the Kushanas got success to establish his authority in these areas. After the Gupta's period this area remained in suzerainty of Maukharis and Harshverdhanas. During the Harsha regime a pilgrim of China named Hiuen-Tsang (630 to 644A.D.) made a journey of Ramgram. After the Harsha, the Bhali had gained complete ascendancy of some part of the district. In the beginning of 4th century the most area of the district was included in the reign of Chandra Gupta I. The emperor Chandra Gupta I (319-335 A.D.)married princess (Kumardevi) of Lichchhavi and enlarged his strength and boundaries of dominion. In the 9th century,southern part of the district was comprised of Shrawasti-Bhukti (Province) of the Gurjara-Pratiharas kings where feudal lord Kala Churis established their sovereignty. After the decline of Gurjara Pratihars, Lakshmi Karna, the ruler of Kalachuri dynasty brought under his control the most landed property of this district.
Afterwards Kalachuris, Gahadvalas, monarch of Kannauj gained complete ascendancy of the region. The reign of Govind Chand Gahadvala was spread upto Bihar wherein the most part of the district was comprised. During the period of Firojashah Tuglaq this region remained in ascendancy of the local Rajput Kings. Neither Babar nor his son and successor Humauyn could bring this area under their control. The emperor Akbar paid attention towards this area in 1556 A.D. and after defeating the revolts of Khan-I-Zaman (Ali kuli-khan) gained complete ascendancy on this region. After the death of Khan-i-Zaman, Akbar handed over the Jagir of Jaunpur to Munim Khan. During the period of Munim Khan Law and order was maintained in this area. For the purpose of reorganization of his empire Akbar merged the whole tract of the district in the Sarkar of Gorakhpur under the suba of Avadh in 1596 A.D. At that time this region was under the control of Suryavansi Rajputs.

In view of safety of the boundary of the headquarters, palaces and forts were constructed with bricks. The description of the Fort situated in Tilpur (In present Nichalaul) was given in Ain- e-Akbari written by Abul Fazal .After the death of Akbar, Jahangir consigned the Jagir of this area to Afzal Khan in 1610 A.D. Afterwards this tract had remained in the sovereignty of Mughals. This region continued to be part of Gorakhpur Sarkar of the Avadh Suba upto 18th century. Sadat Khan was appointed as Nawab of Avadh and Faujdar of Gorakhpur on 1st September 1722 A.D. After passing away of Sadat Khan, Safadarjung was nominated as Nawab of Avadh in 1739 A.D. and after twenty years long struggle,he was compelled to surrender before the king of Butwal. The fate of Safdarjung was sealed in 1754 A.D. and his son and successor Shuja-ud-Daula became Nawab of Avadh. After the death of Shuja-ud-Daula his son Asaf-ud-Daula became the ruler of Avadh on 26th January 1775 A.D.
Due to various treaties, the expenditure on East India company's army ,became very high for Nawab of Avadh. As a result of it, the Nawab Asaf–ud-daula handed over this region along with other regions toEast India company on 10th November 1801 A.D. The administration of this whole region was assigned to the Magistrate Routledge. The first fight of freedom of 1857 fulfilled the feeling of consciousness and awakening of public spirit in the heart and mind of Indians. The feudatories of this region declared war against British rule. The mass movement was being carried on against British Empire under the leadership of Randula Son, the King of Nichlaul participated in first fight of freedom against the British. In consequence of which his title of Raja and allowance granted in 1845 A.D were forfeited. After declaration from Queen Victoria, this region was brought under the control of British rule. The nonco-operation movement led by Mahatma Gandhi was vindicated by the people of the district with might. Mahatma Gandhi visited Gorakhpur on 9th February 1921 A.D. The birthday of Mahatma Gandhi was celebrated with great Zeal. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru visited this region in 1923. Mahatma Gandhi accompanied by Kasturba, J.B. Kriplani and Shri Jai Prakash again visited Ghughuli Railway Station on 4th October 1929. Mahatma Gandhi addressed a large gathering in Mahrajganj on 5th October 1929. To oppose the salt law, hartal, satyagrah, meeting and processions were taken out in almost every village and town of the district in a peaceful and non-violent way. Given a call by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930, Shiblan Lal Saxena, professor of Saint Andrews College, gave up his professorship and laid foundation of sugar cane federation which worked for the welfare of struggling sugar cane producers and labourers.
In 1937 Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant came here and addressed a large meeting. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru visited again this place and laid the foundation stone of local Ganesh Shanker Vidyarthi memorial School in 1940. India got independence on 15th August 1947 and since then this region is making progress by leaps and bounds in every walk of life.
