At the turn of the 20th century, Ain was described as a large but otherwise unremarkable village in the northwestern part of the Bijnaur pargana.[2] It had a small school, but no market.[2] Its population in 1901 was 2,319 people, with a large majority belonging to the Kurmi caste.[2]
The 1961 census recorded Ain as comprising 6 hamlets, with a total population of 2,729 (1,431 male and 1,298 female), in 152 households and 152 physical houses.[3] The area of the village was given as 2,128 acres.[3] By this point, Ain did have a market, taking place on Tuesdays and Saturdays and specialising in livestock; average attendance at that point was about 500 people.[3]
