Kakori is famous for producing hundreds of civil servants in British India who served all over the country. It was the leading town in [[Oudh]] along with [[Rudauli]] and [[Mahmudabad, India|Mahmoodabad]] that supplemented the culture of Lucknow.

Kakori is the main abode of two branches of the [[Kakori Shaikh|Kakorvi Shaikh]] community, namely [[Alavi (surname)|Alavi]] and [[Abbasid Caliphate|Abbasi]], since the fifteenth Century. The Alavi (often spelt as Alvi) branch claim their lineage to [[Ali]], the fourth [[Caliph]] and prophet [[Mohammed]]'s cousin and his son-in-law. However, this branch claim their lineage to Ali through his son ''Muhammad bin Hanafiyah'', with his wife Khaula-Al-Hanifiyah.

The Alavi of Kakori also referred as Moulvi Zadigan (Moulvis) or Makhdoom Zadigan (Makhdooms) depending whether they are descendant of Mulla Abu Bakr Jami Alavi, who settled in Kakori in 1460 or descendant of Qari Amir Saifuddin Alavi, who settled in Kakori in 1552. The Abbasi branch claims their lineage to Al-Abbas, an uncle of the prophet [[Muhammad]].

The Abbasi of Kakori also referred as Qazi Zadigan (Qazi's), indicating that they are the descendants of Qazi Shaikh ''Klan (elder or Senior)'' Abbasi, who settled in Kakori after his appointment as the first Qazi of Kakori by the Royal Court of Delhi in 1490.

Kakori is famous for its mangoes, [[kebabs]], palatial houses of Muslim gentry of Oudh and numerous mosques. The town is the seat of the Qadiria Qalandaria Sufi order and the [[Urs]] attracts thousands every year. The poet Mohsin Kakorvi, his son Noorul Hasan Nayyier, the compiler of Nurul Lughaat, one of the authentic Urdu Dictionary to date and the satirist Ghulam Ahmed Alavi 'Furqat Kakorvi' all belonged to this town.

==Kakori conspiracy==
The looting of a train near Kakori in August 1925 became known as the [[Kakori conspiracy]]. The revolutionaries comprised several people involved in the [[Indian independence movement]]. A memorial to those revolutionaries exists in the town.<ref>{{cite news |first=Arunav |last=Sinha |title=Tourist spot tag may uplift Kakori |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-09/lucknow/29868140_1_kakori-shaheed-smarak-memorial-ram-prasad-bismil |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916130548/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-08-09/lucknow/29868140_1_kakori-shaheed-smarak-memorial-ram-prasad-bismil |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 September 2011 |agency=TNN |location=Lucknow |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=9 May 2013}}</ref>
