== History ==
Because of its location on an important east–west trade route, Nabiganj historically served as a way station for travelling merchants.

At one point, Nabiganj was the seat of a ''[[pargana]]''; it was later merged under [[Kishni]]. In the early 1800s, the local ''[[zamindar]]''s were [[Bais (Rajput clan)|Bais]] Rajputs; in 1840, they sold the village to a group of [[Chauhan]]s from Bhadai, Chirawar, and Arjunpur.<ref name="Gazetteer 1910"/>{{rp|217, 220, 243–4}}
