Ambedkar Nagar Pincodes

History

The roots of downtown banks trace back to ancient times, chronicled beautifully in the poet’s depiction of Purushottam Shriram’s triumph titled ‘V Tamas Tamasya Saru Tata’. Amidst the Mughal era, sadhana rishis found solace near the rivers Saru, Ghaghra, and Tamsa, offering meditation then and continuing their spiritual legacy today. Ambedkar Nagar district, perched upon the revered confluence of Saru and Tamsa, holds multifaceted significance. Evolving through highs and lows, it emerged as the district of Ashtav. Akbarpur, its hub, materialized as a bustling city post the announcement by the former Chief Minister on September 29, 1995, separating from Ayodhya (Faizabad). Situated at 133 meters above sea level, it spans 2350 sq km, housing a population nearing 25 lakh, comprising 1750 villages. The district encompasses five tehsils, ten blocks, 930 gram panchayats, three municipalities, and two Nagar Panchayats, reflecting a vibrant, evolving landscape.
