History

Gulariha is said to have been found sometime around the year 1350 by one Gular Singh Thakur.[3] At the turn of the 20th century, it was described as "a large and scattered village" connected by road to Maurawan, but otherwise relatively ordinary.[3] It had a primary school and a market.[3] In 1901 its population was recorded as being 3,701 people, mostly from the Lodh community.[3]

The 1961 census recorded Gulariha as comprising 15 hamlets, with a total population of 4,943 (2,554 male and 2,389 female), in 1,035 households and 788 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 6,278 acres.[4] It had a post office then.[4]
