History

At the turn of the 20th century, Lodhwari was described as a large and dispersed village consisting of 32 hamlets.[4] Its population as of 1901 was 3,218, a majority of whom were Ahirs.[4] There was a small bazar, which held markets twice per week, and an aided indigenous school.[4] It had previously formed part of the estate belonging to Beni Madho Bakhsh, but it was confiscated after the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and was held at the time by a Sikh Sardar.[4]

The 1961 census recorded Lodhwari as comprising 29 hamlets, with a total population of 3,646 people (1,980 male and 1,666 female), in 803 households and 792 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 3,861 acres and it had a medical practitioner and a post office at that point.[5]

The 1981 census recorded Lodhwari (as "Lodhawari") as having a population of 5,555 people, in 180 households, and having an area of 1,387.72 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were given as wheat and rice.[3]
