&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ancient era===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ettaia-ettawa.ruins.1830s-1850s.jpg|thumb|An engraving of ruins at Etawah, in the first half of the 19th century AD]]&lt;br /&gt;
This region is believed to have existed in the [[Bronze Age]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Gupta Empire|Guptas]], [[Kanva]]s, [[Kanishka]], [[Naga kings]] ruled over this area. In the fourth century A.D., it was part of united India under the Guptas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the ninth and tenth centuries, this region was governed by [[Gurjara Pratihara]] rulers. The conquest of [[Kannauj]] by [[Nagabhata II]] handed Pratiharas control over this region. During the reign of Gurjara Pratihara monarch [[Mihira Bhoja|Mihir Bhoj]], the region is mentioned as prosperous, safe from thieves and rich in natural resources.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=History|author=District Gazetteer Etawah (Uttar Pradesh)|url=http://etawah.nic.in/gaz/2.htm|access-date=3 April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090619065148/http://etawah.nic.in/gaz/2.htm|archive-date=19 June 2009|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1244, [[Ghiyas ud din Balban]] attacked the region.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=lt2tqOpVRKgC&amp;amp;pg=PA135&amp;amp;dq=balaban+etawa+etawa&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwir4Kbjhu3OAhUK1mMKHXeYAEMQ6AEIHjAA#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=balaban%20etawa%20etawa&amp;amp;f=false The Delhi Sultanate: A Political and Military History, Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization, Peter Jackson, Cambridge University Press, 2003 p. 135]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Revolt of 1857===&lt;br /&gt;
During the First War of Independence in 1857, major disturbances occurred in Etawah and the district was occupied by the freedom fighters from June to December. British rule was not completely restored until the end of 1858.&amp;lt;ref name=EB1911&amp;gt;{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Etawah |volume=9 |page=804}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Modern history and economy===&lt;br /&gt;
Etawah has experienced modernization and development under [[British Raj]] and in the [[Post-independence History of India|post-independence period]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The district is partly watered by branches of the [[Ganges canal]].&amp;lt;ref name=EB1911/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is traversed by the main line of the Indian railway (northern zone) from Delhi to Howrah (Calcutta).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cotton, oilseeds, Potato and other agricultural produce are grown and exported.&amp;lt;ref name=EB1911/&amp;gt; Special breed of goat [[Jamnapari goat|Jamunapaari]] and special breed of buffalo [[Bhadawari]] are raised and exported.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The region has a 652 MW natural gas-based power generation plant. However, it lacks manufacturing industries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Etawah was known for its [[handloom]] products; most of them are converted into [[power loom]]s thanks to the advent of better technology. &amp;#039;Etawah&amp;#039; is derived from the burner of bricks (where bricks are made); it has thousands of brick centre between its boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;

== Politics ==&lt;br /&gt;
Until the 1980s, the regional politics was largely dominated by the Congress. The region saw several changes in the succeeding decades which led to a reconfiguration of political power. Until the 80s the upper castes often used coercion to get votes from the lower caste majority in the region. The lower castes began to assert themselves much more forcefully. Two leaders, Chaudhary Charan Singh, a Jat leader who briefly became prime minister in 1979, and Mulayam Singh Yadav became faces for opposition to the Congress. Moreover, dacoits from backward castes strengthened, asserting control over land and political power.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://caravanmagazine.in/reportage/everybodys-brother-akhilesh-yadav|title=Akhilesh Yadav in the family business|last=Dixit|first=Neha|website=The Caravan|language=en|access-date=2019-05-22}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
