History

[edit]

Lalganj was founded by, and named after, Lal Singh of Simarpaha.[2]

At the turn of the 20th century, Lalganj was described as "a flourishing little market town" that served as the second-most-important bazar in the district, behind Raebareli itself.[2] It hosted markets twice a week and traded hides, cloth, and oilseeds with Kanpur.[2] Because of the town's growing importance, the road between Lalganj and Raebareli was metalled in 1902 through 1904.[2] At around that time, Lalganj had a police station, a post office, a cattle pound, and a large primary school, as well as a road inspection bungalow that had recently been built.[2] The town had a large Bania population as well as a Bais colony.[2] Lalganj was then technically part of the village of Datauli Lalganj; Datauli had been founded by Sheo Singh, an ancestor of Lal Singh.[2]
