The district of RAEBARELI
which was created by the British in 1858, is named after its headquarters
town. Tradition has it that the town was founded by the Bhars and
was known as Bharauli or Barauli which in course of time got changed
into Bareli. The prefix, Rae, is said to come from Rahi, a village
5km west of the town. It is also said that the prefix, Rae, represents
Rae, the common title of the Kayasths who were masters of the town
for a considerable period of time.
Since about the begining
of the medival level period of Indian history the region lying
in the south of the district of Raebareli , has been known as
avadh or subhah of avadh. In the north it streches as far as
to the foothills of the Himalayas and in the south as far as
to the Ganga. There is no doubt that the district has been civilised
and life settled since very early times.To know more About RAEBARELI,,,,
