History

[edit]

Madhoganj originated as a bazaar in the village of Rudamau.[2] At the turn of the 20th century, it was described as "a thriving centre of trade in grain, cotton, and other articles."[2] It had a post office, an upper primary school, and a police force of 11 officers.[2]

Madhoganj's municipal board was established in 1872.[4] In 1903, a railway branch line was built between Madhoganj and Balamau.[2] Then in 1909, another line was built connecting Madhoganj with Sandi via Bilgram.[4]

The 1961 census did not count Madhoganj among the urban areas of Hardoi district, due to "non-fulfilment of urban conditions."[4] Madhoganj's market, held on Tuesdays and Fridays and mainly dealing in grain and kirana items, was recorded as having an average attendance of 6,000 people at the time.[4]

Economy

[edit]

As of 1971, the economy of Madhoganj was described as a hybrid between the commercial, service, and industrial sectors.[5] The main items imported were jaggery, cloth, and raw groundnuts.[5] The main items manufactured were groundnut oil, handloom cloth, and shoes.[5] The biggest export was groundnut oil, followed by wheat and arhar.[5]
