==History==
Firozpur and Gouspur has very close connection with renaming of [[Ghazipur]] during the rule of [[Tughlaq Dynasty]]. As per historical records 'Chakwa King Mandhata' (one of descendant of Prithviraj Chouhan) had his citadel at 'Kathaut'. However Syed Masud Al-Husaini, one of the general of 'Firoz Shah Tughlaq' defeated Raja Mandhata near Firozpur. After this victory Syed Masud was conferred the title of 'Malik al-Sadat Ghazi' by the Sultan [[Firoz Shah Tughlaq]] and appointed as administrator of the vanquished rebellious king's estate. Some historian says that he founded a new city with the name of Ghazipur but according to some researchers he renamed the old city of 'Gadhipuri' as Ghazipur in 1330 A.D. It was Syed Masud Ghazi who established a settlement as village 'Firozpur' as mark of honour towards Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq and also established a new village 'Gouspur' near Kathaut.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ghazipur.nic.in/placeofinterest.htm|title=Places of Interest in Ghazipur District|publisher=ghazipur.nic.in|accessdate=2017-06-08}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6DYVAAAAIAAJ&q=king+mandhata+Ghazipur&pg=PA325|title=An Historical Atlas of Islam|isbn=9004061169|accessdate=2017-06-08|last1=Brice|first1=William Charles|year=1981}}</ref>

==Airstrip==
During world war-II British government built three airstrips in Ghazipur, one at Andhau, another near Gomti bridge at Varanasi-Ghazipur route and third near this village. However it is known as 'Gouspur Hawai Adda'. This airstrip was strategically built by British-US allied forces as line of defense against advancement of INA and Japanese forces and expected fear of fall of Calcutta and eastern sector. Now this airstrip is abandoned by Government of India.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Shahbazkuli+Airstrip/@25.6293774,83.6790848,712m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x39920406f2e5f7bf:0x358f02e1f25b76de!2sShahbazkuli+Airstrip!8m2!3d25.6293774!4d83.6812735!3m4!1s0x39920406f2e5f7bf:0x358f02e1f25b76de!8m2!3d25.6293774!4d83.6812735|title=Google map of Shahbazkuli airstrip|publisher=goole map|accessdate=2017-06-08}}</ref>
