==History==
Jagdishpur was originally named after a [[Brahmin]] [[zamindar]] named Jagdis who lived at the time when the area was ruled by the [[Bhar]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> In 1715, the Bhale Sultan leader Nihal Khan established a fort at the outlying hamlet of Chak Jangla.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> He named the fort Nihalgarh after himself, and a town sprang up around it that came to eclipse Jagdishpur proper.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> In 1750, the [[tehsildar]] Mirza Latif Beg besieged and captured Nihalgarh; he then made it his residence.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> Up to that time, there had been two [[pargana]]s in the area at [[Kishni, Sultanpur|Kishni]] and [[Sathin]] (or Satanpur), but either Nihal Khan or Mirza Latif Beg united the two parganas into one based at Jagdishpur.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> Sometime after 1750 but before the 20th century, the fort of Nihalgarh was torn down.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, the town of Jagdishpur/Nihalgarh had a police station, a middle vernacular school with about 150 students, and a registration office located at the Gulabganj sarai.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> It also had a small bazar, which mostly dealt in everyday goods like food and clothing, as well as brass vessels made by the [[Thathera]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> There was only one masonry house, which had been built by a wealthy [[Agarwal]] Bania named Balmukand who had acquired a small estate by purchase and mortgage.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> Balmukand's successor, Bibi Rampiari, owned seven villages and two [[patti (land)|patti]]s in the area at the time.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/> As of 1901, the population of the town was 2,121 people, including 1,168 Muslims.<ref name="Gazetteer 1903"/>

The [[1951 Census of India|1951 census]] recorded Jagdishpur as having a district board-run primary school, with 197 students in attendance as of 1 January of the year.<ref name="Census 1951">{{cite book |title=Census of India, 1951: District Census Handbook Uttar Pradesh (49 - Rae Bareli District) |date=1955 |location=Allahabad |pages=199 |url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/843/1/52301_1951_SUL.pdf |access-date=13 November 2021}}</ref>

The [[1961 Census of India|1961 census]] recorded Jagdishpur as having a police force of 2 sub-inspectors, 1 head constable, and 14 constables.<ref name="Census 1961">{{cite book |title=Census 1961: District Census Handbook, Uttar Pradesh (44 - Sultanpur District) |date=1965 |location=Lucknow |pages=118, 121-2, 126, 128, 142-3 |url=http://lsi.gov.in:8081/jspui/bitstream/123456789/1035/1/22847_1961_SUL.pdf |access-date=13 November 2021}}</ref> It had a dispensary run by a local body with 12 male beds and 8 female beds, a maternity and child welfare centre, and a post office.<ref name="Census 1961"/> Average attendance of the Dussehra festival was about 1,500 people then.<ref name="Census 1961"/>
