==History, Etymology and Post Independence==
Raebareli is supposedly a city founded by [[Bhar]]s, and originally called Bharauli or Barauli.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The meaning of the prefix "Rae"(pronounced [[Rai (title)|Rai]]) is not clear — it may refer to the nearby village of [[Rahi, Raebareli|Rahi]], to the west, or it may alternatively derive from the title "[[Rai (title)|Rai]]" borne by the [[Kayasth]] rulers of the place.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The city was conquered by [[Ibrahim Shah]] of the [[Jaunpur Sultanate]] and then handed over to [[Shaikhs in South Asia|Sheikhs]] and [[Sayyid]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The city's fort was built by Ibrahim Shah in 820 [[Hijri year|AH]], most likely using materials from earlier structures.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Apart from the gate on the west side, it is mostly in ruins; it consists of an outer layer of brick surrounding an earthwork core.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Outside the gate is the shrine of the Muslim saint Makhdum Saiyid Jafri.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> According to legend, during the fort's original construction, everything built during the day kept collapsing at night; the sultan then summoned the saint from Jaunpur, and then as soon as he walked on the site the construction proceeded without difficulty.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Ibrahim Shah also had at least two mosques built in Raebareli.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> One was the [[Jama Masjid]], which was restored in 1089 AH by [[Aurangzeb]] and still stands today.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The other no longer exists; in the late 19th century a [[dispensary]] was built on the site by [[Raja Drigjibai Singh]] of [[Murarmau]].<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Rae Bareli was also spelled as "Raibareilly" which is actively being used in various places including central government managed websites such as Vahan Citizen Services. https://vahan.parivahan.gov.in/

Since the time of Ibrahim Shah, Raebareli has continuously been an important regional town.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> His grandson [[Husain Shah (Jaunpur Sultanate)|Husain Shah]] renamed the city ''Husainabad'' after himself, but the name change never caught on.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Different [[mahalla]]s were founded by descendants of the original Muslim settlers in the city: Qasbana, Neza Andaz, Saiyid Rajan, Bans Tola, and Pirai Hamid were founded by Muslims; Jaunpuri, Khali Sahat, and Surjipur were founded by [[Brahmin]]s; Khatrauni Kalan and Khurd by the Khattri treasurers of the Jaunpur sultans, and Shah Tola by the royal purveyor.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>

Raja Har Parshad "Taluqedar of Naseerabad" a, native of this town, was the [[Nazim]] or Commissioner of Khairabad Division during the reign of the ex-king. He joined the mutineers and went up to [[Nepal]] with [[Begum Hazrat Mahal]] of [[Oudh State|Oudh]] dynasty and on 31 December 1858 while returning after ensuring her safety, he was killed in a battle with [[British Raj|British]] army. He has been honoured with the title of "''Lastville and the most notorious governor of Oudh''". The district of [[Raebareli district|Raebareli]] was created by the British in 1858, and is named after its headquarters town.<ref>according to an article in Saptahik Ganga Yamuna weekly newspaper dated 22 to 28 January 1995</ref> [[Rana Beni Madho|Rana Beni Madhav Baksh Singh]] is well known freedom fighter of this district.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.jagran.com/lite/uttar-pradesh/raebareli-freedom-fighter-rana-beni-madhav-baksh-jayanti-celebrated-with-panoply-18340227.html|title=धूमधाम से मनायी जायेगी स्वतंत्रता संग्राम सेनानी राणा बेनी माधव बख्श की जयंती}}</ref> Munshiganj retaliation of common people for freedom shows an example for the rest of Oudh.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://raebareli.nic.in/history/|title=History | District Raebareli, Government of Uttar Pradesh | India}}</ref>

After the uprising, Raebareli was chosen as the site of the new district headquarters.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> A [[cantonment]] was established to the southwest of the city, but it was only in use for a few years before being abandoned.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Raebareli was first constituted as a municipality in 1867, with originally 23 members on the municipal board, later reduced to 16.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, Raebareli was described as an important commercial centre for the surrounding region, especially since the coming of the railway.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> It then consisted of two separate sites: Raebareli proper and Jahanabad.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Originally founded by the [[subahdar]] Jahan Khan, it contained the Rang Mahal palace and the [[maqbara]] or mausoleum of Jahan Khan.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The city had six marketplaces: Purana Bazar (also called Qila Darwaza), Jahanabad, Capperganj, Baillieganj, Graceyganj, and Whishganj.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> A seventh one, known as Munshiganj, also existed a short distance away from the city on the road to [[Dalmau]].<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> It had been founded by Diwan Chand Sahai, who along with his brother Munshi Gur Sahai had served as assistants of [[Nawab Ali Naqi Khan]].<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Capperganj, near Jahanabad, had been established by Ganga Sahai and served as a marketplace for a wide variety of goods, including [[brass]]work from [[Hasanpur Bandhua]], cloth from [[Jais]], and vegetables from [[Lucknow]] as well as imported European goods.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Baillieganj, founded by the British official D.C. Baillie, served as "the main [[wholesale]] market in the district" at the time.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> It was distinct in that it did not levy an [[octroi]] fee on goods brought there, "so that it serves the purposed of a [[bonded warehouse]]".<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> During the [[Indian famine of 1899-1900]], the increased demand for food in the [[Bombay Presidency]] triggered a surge in the [[grain trade]] at Baillieganj.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>

Four prominent [[mosque]]s were noted at this point.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The first of these was the Jami Masjid, which as mentioned dated back to the reign of Ibrahim Shah.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The second was built in 1040 AH by Nawab Jahan Khan, who founded Jahanabad.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The third, built by [[Shah Alam-ullah]], was modelled after the [[Kaaba]] in [[Mecca]] and was domeless but had three main halls.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The last of the four was built by Shah Alam-ullah's son in the suburb of Daira.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>

Other landmarks at the time included the dispensary and [[caravanserai|sarai]] built by Drigjibai Singh after the British annexation of [[Oudh State]] in the 1850s.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Built around the same time was a large masonry bridge across the Sai, commissioned by the British deputy commissionner W. Glynn and partly financed by some [[Bais (Rajput clan)|Bais Rajput]] [[taluqdar]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> The city also had several schools, including a government-run high school, a branch school located within the fort, a vernacular middle school run by the municipality, and five indigenous schools supported by [[grants-in-aid]].<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Two of these were in the fort, two more were in Jahanabad, and the last one was at Wazirganj.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> There was also a [[Sanskrit]] [[Pathshala]].<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>

According to the [[1901 Census of India|1901 census]], the population of Raebareli was 15,880 people (8,321 male and 7,559 female).<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> This included 8,825 Hindus, 6,955 Muslims, 43 Sikhs, 38 Christians, and 19 Jains.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/> Among the notable Sikh residents were Shahzada Basdeo Singh, the great-grandson of Maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]] of the [[Sikh Empire]], as well as the descendants of [[Chhattar Singh]], one of the generals in the Sikh army.<ref name="Gazetteer 1905"/>
