History
At the turn of the 20th century, Itaura Buzurg was described as a very large village consisting of many dispersed hamlets.[3] It was divided into 19 mahals, which were held in single and joint zamindari tenure by some of the Kanhpurias of Nain.[3] A large battle had taken place at Itaura Buzurg in 1245 AH between the Raja of Tiloi and Rai Jagannath Bahadur, which was won by the latter and resulted in his retention of the village.[3] The population as of 1901 was 3,896 people.[3] There was an aided school with 137 students around that time, and there was also the adjoining marketplace called Babuganj, which held markets twice a week.[3]
