History

Formerly a village called Bhopatpur, the modern settlement of Miyanganj was founded in 1771 by Miyan Almas Ali Khan, a eunuch and finance minister under the Nawabs of Awadh.[3] It was described in 1803 as a prosperous town, but then in 1823 a visitor described it as rapidly becoming dilapidated.[3] It was later the site of a battle during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[3]

At the turn of the 20th century, Miyanganj had 13 mosques, 4 temples, two sarais, and one primary school with 33 students.[3] The population in 1901 was 3,395 residents, including 1,312 Muslims, an especially high proportion for this part of Awadh.[3]

The 1961 census recorded Miyanganj (here spelled "Miaganj") as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 2,885 (1,503 male and 1,382 female), in 511 households and 493 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 836 acres.[4] Average attendance of the cattle fair was about 4,000 people, and attendance of biweekly market averaged about 800.[4] The V.D.T. Higher Secondary School in Miyanganj, founded in 1950, was in 1961 recorded as having a faculty of 10 teachers (all male) and a student body of 284 (also all male).[4]
