== History ==
Safipur was originally founded in the 1300s by a [[Brahmin]] named Sai Sukul, who was a subject of the Raja of [[Ugu]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The town was formerly called Saipur in Sai Sukul's honour; the name Saipur was still the more common name in general use as late as the early 1900s.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Sai Sukul supposedly died in battle in 1389 when [[Ibrahim Sharqi]] of the [[Jaunpur Sultanate]] conquered the town.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Ibrahim then put his own lieutenants in charge of Saipur: Maulvi Akram, the ancestor of Makhdum Shah Safi; the paymaster Rao Mahesh Rao, whose descendants held the office of [[qanungo]]; the [[risaldar]] Sayyid Mir, whose descendants were [[zamindar]]s; and Sayyid Hasan Reza, whose descendants were [[taluqdar]]s and zamindars.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Maulvi Akram's great-grandson, Makhdum Shah Safi, was a religious mendicant who lived at Saipur during the 1500s.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> When he died, he was buried here, and the town's name was changed to Safipur in his honour.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The mausoleum of Makhdum Shah Safi, as well as the surrounding [[dargah]] complex, was built by a follower of his named Chaudhri Khaslat Husain, who was the taluqdar of [[Sandila]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> A large mosque was added to the complex in the early 1900s by Chaudhri Muhammad Azim, who was also taluqdar of Sandila.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Makhdum Shah Safi's dargah is the most important in Safipur, although there are several others, including those of Ifhamullah, Kudratullah, Hafizullah, and Abdullah.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Safipur was mentioned as the capital of a [[pargana]] in the [[Ain-i-Akbari]]; it maintained this status into the 20th century.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Two high-ranking officials under the [[Nawabs of Awadh]], Diwan Umed Rai and Maulvi Fazl Azim, were natives of Safipur.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> They both had various buildings constructed in the town: Diwan Umed Rai built a [[bazaar]] and a [[caravanserai|sarai]], and Maulvi Fazl Azim built many wells, mosques, and an [[imambara]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, Safipur was described as "a flourishing, well-built town" with a daily standing market and bazaars held twice weekly in four [[muhalla]]s.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It contained the tehsil headquarters, a police station, a [[munsif]]'s court, a [[dispensary]], and a [[middle school]] attended by 146 students.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>
