Once held by the Musalman Rajputs of the Sikarwar clan, known as Kamsari Pathans the land was later acquired by Deokinandan Singh, a Bhumihar from Allahabad, in 1810. He was a Amil. Through a combination of revenue farming and legal maneuvering, Deokinandan a ruler of Anapur estate(Allahabad )amassed vast estates across Ghazipur, Ballia, Gorakhpur, and Allahabad.
