== Name and history ==
Ujariyaon is said to have been the site of an earlier [[Bhar]] village, which was conquered by a Muslim army led by two brothers named Abdullah and "the Turkoman", who were subjects of the [[Delhi Sultanate]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The Bhar raja and the brother known as the Turkoman were both killed in the battle.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The victorious Abdullah married the slain raja's daughter and settled down in the village, which he named '''Shahpur''', but just a few days later he and his followers were massacred by the former king's brother while praying during the [[Muslim holidays|Id]] festival.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The only survivor was a woman named Ujali, who was living at her father's house in [[Bado Sarai]] (now in [[Barabanki district).<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Her son Ghias-ud-Din was then an infant; when he grew up, he went into service in the imperial army and led a campaign against Shahpur (which conveniently happened to fall on the day of [[Holi]]).<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He was successful, the (current) raja was killed, and Ghias-ud-Din had the village razed to the ground.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> He then re-founded it as '''Ujaliaon''' in honour of his mother Ujali, who had survived the previous massacre.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, the village of Ujariyaon lay 2 miles to the east of Lucknow.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It was on the high ground overlooking the [[Khadir and Bangar|khadir]] land regularly inundated by the Gomti during floods, and during heavy rains was only accessible from the north.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The upland area on which it lay was "a stretch of sandy, unproductive soil", broken up by ravines, that supposedly marks a former bank of the Gomti.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Irrigation was provided by earthen wells as well as a tank to the north.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Both the broad- and narrow-gauge railways to [[Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh|Bara Banki]] crossed the village lands.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Ujariyaon's [[zamindar]]s were [[Shaikhs in South Asia|Sheikh]]s who claimed descent from the village's founder, although at the time they were not very prosperous and had [[mortgage]]d the village to Nawab Jafar Ali Khan of [[Bijnaur]].<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The village had one school and, as of the 1901 census, had a population of 2,933, including a Muslim population of 694.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Most of the Hindu residents belonged to the [[Ahir]] community.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>
