History[edit]
According to oral tradition, Hilauli was founded by two Kayasths named Hanuman and Banwari.[3] Folklore holds that the field of Madhab, a Thakur who once lived here, never needs irrigation, no matter how dry the weather gets.[3] Hilauli historically lay in the pargana of Maurawan.[3]
At the turn of the 20th century, Hilauli was described as "a very large village... pleasantly situated among mango groves in a sandy soil near the river Sai".[3] It hosted "a considerable market" twice per week, and it had one school and a small mosque.[3] Its population in 1901 was 4,340, with a large Chhatri population and a small Muslim minority of 260.[3]
The 1961 census recorded Hilauli as comprising 16 hamlets, with a total population of 5,594 (2,801 male and 2,793 female), in 960 households and 860 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 6,055 acres.[4] Average attendance of the biweekly market was about 200 people.[4]
