History

Kumhrawan was for a long time the seat of a taluqdar estate held by a branch of the Amethia Rajputs.[3] It originally was in the pargana of Haidergarh, but under the nazim Almas Ali Khan it was split off to form a separate pargana because of conflicts between the Amethia taluqdars of Kumhrawan and Pokhra Ansari.[3] Kumhrawan lost its status as headquarters of the taluqdars when a fort was built at Sheogarh to the west; the old fort at Kumhrawan was then abandoned and by the early 1900s it no longer existed and its location had become farmland.[3] By that point it was described as a minor village with a population of 763 as of the 1901 census.[3]

The 1961 census recorded Kumhrawan as comprising 4 hamlets, with a total population of 984 people (521 male and 463 female), in 198 households and 184 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 743 acres.[4]

The 1981 census recorded Kumhrawan as having a population of 1,271 people, in 238 households, and having an area of 300.68 hectares.[5]
