Tehsil Deoria, District Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, Bharat
The area now known as the Deoria District was once a part of the Kosala Kingdom - a prime centre of ancient Aryan culture surrounded by the Himalayas in the north, the Shyandika river in the south, the Panchala Kingdom in the west and the Magadh Kingdom in Bihar to the east. Apart from the many legends told about this area, archaeological remains, such as statues, coins, bricks, temples, and Budh Maths,have been discovered at many locations in this district, showing that there was a developed and organised society long ago.

Ancient history of the district is related with the Ramayana times when the Lord of Kosala, Ram, appointed his elder son Kusa the king of Kushwati, which is present-day Kushinagar. Before the Mahābhārat era, this area had been related with Chakravorty Samrat Mahasudtsan and his kingdom. Kushinagar was well developed and prosperous. Close to the border of his kingdom was the thick forested area called the Mahavan. This area was under the control of the Maurya rulers, the Gupta rulers, the Bihar rulers, and then the Garhwal ruler Govinda Chandra from 1114 AD until 1154 AD. The area was ruled either by Avadhi rulers or Bihari Muslim rulers, it is not clear which. The early Muslim rulers of Delhi exerted little or no control over this area.
Muslim historians offer no descriptions of any battles or invasions in the Deoria area, possibly because Muslim invaders would have had no reason to penetrate the thick forests of this region.Many places of this district played an important role in modern history. Important ones are: Pindi,Nadauli, Dumoulia, Salempur, Paina, Berhaj, Karayal Shukla,[SASRAON]('BABA MAHENDRANATH.MAHEN BAZAR'),Lar, Rudrapur, Hata, Kasia, Gauribazar, Kaptanganj, Udhopur, Tamkuhi, Basantpur, Pipraich and Dhoosi.[Gandhiji] addressed public meetings at Deoria and Padrauna in 1920.

The Deoria District came into existence in March 16, 1946, being separated from the Gorakhpur District. It is believed that the name Deoria is derived from Devaranya or possibly Devpuria. According to official [gazetteers], the district name Deoria named after its headquarters in Deoria, and the term Deoria generally means a place where there are temples. The name Deoria probably developed because of the existence of an important [LORD Shiva Temple,called SOMNATH temple & Godess Durga temple called DEORAHI Temaple) on the northern bank of the Kurna river.

Baba Raghav Das organized local people in April 1930, who joined in the Namak Movement. In 1931, there was a widespread movement against the government and landlords in this district. Many more people joined Congress as volunteers and organized marches in several places. The freedom fighter Purushottam Das Tandon in 1931 and Rafi Ahmed Kidwai in 1935 visited various parts of the district. During the Quit India Movement, as many as 580 people were sent to prison for various periods of time.

The Kushinagar (Padrauna) District was formed in May 1994 by separating north-east portion of the Deoria District.

  • Deoria, the administrative headquarters of Deoria District, is situated 50 km southeast of Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh. The town is an important agricultural center of the district. Sugar is the principal industry of the local populace and a number of sugar processing factories can be seen across the city. Apart from sugarcane, rice, oilseeds and pulses are cultivated in the outskirts. The Buddhist pilgrimage center of Kushinagar is situated nearby. The nearest airport is at Varanasi. Deoria Sadar Railway Station is on the Gorakhpur-Varanasi line
