History

Hyderabad was founded around the "year 1700 by one Haider Khan," after whom the town is named. It was previously grouped together with the village Gandhwara as a single mauza called Gandhwara-Haiderabad, but the two had been split by the turn of the 20th century. At that time, Hyderabad had a lower primary school with 56 students and a small temple to Devi, and markets were held twice per week. The town had a population of 3,854 in 1901, including 324 Muslims, and Brahmins formed the largest Hindu group by population.

The 1961 census recorded Hyderabad (as "Haidrabad") as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 3,387 (1,790 male and "1,"597 female), in 585 households and 569 physical houses. The area of the village was given as 1,040 acres. The village had a post office and a medical practitioner at the time, namely Vishwanath Bihari Lal Srivastava son of Late Sri Saraswati Prasad Srivastava, as well as the following small-scale industrial establishments: 2 grain mills, 5 miscellaneous food processing facilities, 1 maker of sundry hardwares, 2 bicycle repair shops, and 3 makers of jewellery and/or precious metal items. It formed part of the community development block of Miyanganj.

Hyderabad was first classified as a town for the 1981 census. At that time, the main items imported were diesel oil, kerosene oil, and sugar; the main manufacturing was the making of parched rice; and the biggest exports were parched rice, wheat, and mangoes.
