Barabanki- A Glimpse

The district of Barabanki, lying in the heart of the Avadh region, was created as a separate unit of revenue administration in 1856. Originally known as Daryabad, the headquarter was shifted to Nawabganj (Barabanki) in 1859. Post creation, the areal expanse of Barabanki increased with the transfer of Parganas of Bhitauli, Dewa, Kursi, Haidergarh, and Subeha from the adjoining districts of Bahraich, Lucknow, Raebareli and Sultanpur.

The present areal stretch of the district extending over an area of 3891.5 square kilometers, comprises 1845 villages, one Nagar Palika Parishad, 06 tehsils, and 24 police stations. Representation in the highest democratic institutions is ensured through One Lok Sabha and Six Legislative Assembly constituencies. In the natural realm, the district can be divided into five physical regions, the Ghagra - Chauka (Sarda) doab, the Ghagra flood plain (terai), the central uplands, the trans-Gomati tract, and the Gomati flood plain.
