History
The taluqdars of Pahremau were a family of Niyazi Pathans that shared a common ancestry with the taluqdars of Amawan.[4] The two branches were originally split between the brothers Qadirdad Khan and Sher Zaman Khan, with Qadirdad Khan receiving Pahremau.[4] He was succeeded by his only son, Najib Khan, who died in 1855, and the Pahremau estate was then split between his four sons.[4]
At the turn of the 20th century, Pahremau was described as an old village that was "compactly built on a large mound."[4] Its population as of 1901 was 1,164, a majority of whom were Muslims.[4]
The 1961 census recorded Pahremau (as "Paharemau") as comprising 14 hamlets, with a total population of 1,202 people (625 male and 577 female), in 268 households and 245 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 983 acres.[5]
The 1981 census recorded Pahremau as having a population of 1,575 people, in 315 households, and having an area of 678.28 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were given as wheat and rice.[3]
