History

Narauli is an old settlement associated with the Bargujars, and it served as the seat of a pargana at least since the time of Akbar:[1] it is mentioned in the Ain-i-Akbari as being part of the sarkar of Sambhal, producing a revenue of 1,408,098 dams for the imperial treasury and a force of 400 infantry and 50 cavalry to the Mughal army.[2] By the turn of the 20th century, Narauli was described as consisting of two parts: Makhupura (named after Makhu Singh, an ancestor of the ruling family) and Qazi Muhalla (named after the main civic official of the pargana). It was a compact town on both sides of the road from Sambhal to Chandausi, and it was surrounded by extensive mango groves, especially on the south and west. Markets were held twice weekly, and there were several mosques and temples in the town. The ruins of an old fort were also visible.[1]
