History

At the turn of the 20th century, Gaju was described as a mostly unremarkable agricultural village, with good soil and a small village school.[1] It lay in the pargana of Sandila and was held in taluqdari tenure by Maharaj Singh of Atwa Nasirpur, who resided in the neighbouring village of Hathaura.[1] British authors at the time considered it only noteworthy for its large size: the 1901 census recorded its population as being 2,510 people.[1]

The 1961 census recorded Gaju as comprising 10 hamlets, with a total population of 3,846 (2,050 male and 1,796 female), in 768 households and 592 physical houses.[3] The area of the village was given as 3,347 acres.[3] Average attendance of the biweekly market was about 100.[3]
