History

Harchand was founded by Nabh Rai, a Kayastha who served as the diwan to the Bais raja Tilok Chand, and named after his son Har Chand, who was adopted in 1350 Samvat. His descendants are still major landowners in Harchandpur; one of them, Jai Narain Srivastava, was appointed the first Station Master of Harchandpur Railway Station in 1893.

With the opening of the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railway in the 1800s, Harchandpur experienced a boom in commercial activity. The main line of the railway passed through town, and the Harchandpur railway station quickly became a major point of export for local goods like grain, hides, and oilseeds. The Raghubarganj bazar in Harchandpur was founded by Thakurain Udairaj Kunwar in 1894 (after the opening of the station) and named after her late husband Raghubar Bakhsh Singh, the taluqdar of Hasnapur. By 1905, it was described as one of the main markets in the Raebareli tehsil. At that point, it also had a post office, a cattle pound, and a large primary school, as well as a military encampment on the road to the northwest. The population in 1901 was 1,457, including many Brahmins and Banias.
