'''Dehuli''' ({{IAST|Dehulī}}), also spelled '''Dihuli''' ({{IAST|Dihulī}}), is a village in [[Barnahal]] block of [[Mainpuri district]], [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Its first mention in historical sources is around the year 1420, during a rebellion against the [[Delhi Sultanate]]. As of 2011, Dehuli has a population of 3,517, in 584 households.

== Geography ==
Dehuli is located on the [[Sirsaganj]]-[[Karhal]] road, roughly equidistant from both of them.<ref name="Gazetteer 1910">{{cite book |editor1-last=Neave|editor1-first=E. R. |title=Mainpuri: A Gazetteer, Being Volume X of the District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh |date=1929 |publisher=Government Press |location=Allahabad |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.181613 |access-date=19 June 2023}}</ref>{{rp|211}}

== History ==
Dehuli appears in the annals of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] around the year 1420, when Taj ul-Mulk, a general under the sultan [[Khizr Khan]], led a punitive campaign against a rebellion in the area. The sources mention how Taj ul-Mulk's forces sacked Dehuli, which they describe as "the strongest place in the possession of the infidels". E. R. Neaves interpreted this as a reference to the [[Bais Rajput]]s, who in later times were ''[[zamindar]]''s of Dehuli; he wrote that they were probably local rulers of Dehuli in the 1400s as well.<ref name="Gazetteer 1910"/>{{rp|151}}

As of 1910, Dehuli was described as having a village school, three temples in the village, and two temples outside the village proper. A market was held twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The population as of 1901 was 362. Due to its small size, the village had become relatively unimportant, but it had previously been the seat of a ''tappa''. This ''tappa'' was joined with [[Jakhan, Etawah|Jakhan]] in [[Etawah district]] to form the [[pargana]] of "Dehli-Jahkan", or Bibamau, which was later distributed between the parganas of Barnahal in Mainpuri and Bibamau in Etawah. As of 1910 Dehuli was under Barnahal.<ref name="Gazetteer 1910"/>{{rp|211}}

== Demographics ==
As of 2011, Dehuli had a population of 3,517, in 584 households.<ref name="Census 2011 A"/>{{rp|131}} This population was 53.4% male (1,879) and 46.6% female (1,638).
