History

The British initially created the Barabanki region after they annexed Oudh State in 1856. Due to the district’s headquarters being in Daryabad, it was formerly known as the Daryabad district; but, in 1859, they moved to Barabanki. For two reasons, first to avoid confusion with other places called Nawabganj, and second because the civil station was technically located outside of Nawabganj in the small revenue village of Barabanki, the name “Barabanki” was chosen as the district’s official name instead of the more popular name of the town, Nawabganj.

Geography

The majority of the Barabanki area is made up of level agricultural land with trees interspersed. There aren’t many vantage places from which a large portion of the landscape may be observed, and the highest point is just around 130 meters (430 feet) above sea level. The terrain is interrupted in the north by a ridge that rises 6.1 meters (20 feet) and runs parallel to the Ghaghra at a distance of 1.6 to 4.8 km (1 to 3 mi). This ridge is thought to represent the river’s old right bank. These are rolling, densely forested terrain, with a moderate slope down to the Gomti to the south. Rugged ravines cross the district at several points.
