History

[edit]

Around the turn of the 20th century, Udhranpur was described as a large village in the pargana and tehsil of Shahabad.[3] Its population as of the 1901 Census was 1,985 people, including 115 Muslims and 144 Christians, and a large Brahmin community among the Hindu majority.[3] The village was held in zamindari tenure and hosted markets twice a week, and there was a post office and large upper primary school.[3] The local indigo factory, formerly owned by Europeans, had by that point come under the joint ownership of Pandit Lajja Ram and other local Brahmin proprietors.[3]
