History

Brahmani was historically part of the taluqdari estate belonging to the Rajas of Tiloi.[3] Its commercial importance grew with the opening of the railway station at Fursatganj.[3] At the turn of the 20th century, it also had a small school and a post office.[3] The population in 1901 was 1,690, including a large number of Ahirs and Banias.[3]

An aerodrome was constructed at Fursatganj in 1941–42.[4]

The 1961 census recorded Brahmani (here spelled "Barhmani") as comprising 8 hamlets, with a total population of 1,928 people (980 male and 948 female), in 425 households and 423 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 1,381 acres.[4] Average attendance of the Fursatganj biweekly market was about 3,000 people, and average of the annual Dussehra festival was about 9,000.[4]

The 1981 census recorded Brahmani (again as "Barhmani") as having a population of 3,238 people, in 506 households, and having an area of 560.09 hectares.[5]
