Located on the right banks of the Gomti (a major tributary of the Ganga River), Sultanpur is the administrative headquarters of Sultanpur District and is a part of Faizabad Division. It is situated 135 kilometres east of state capital Lucknow. The common language of the people of Sultanpur is Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi. Although the area has been part of successive northern Indian kingdoms through centuries, the recorded history of the city began in the colonial times. Long a center of Hindu and Buddhist culture it came under Muslim occupation in the 12th century. The city was completely destroyed during the military operations of the Revolt of 1857. Places of interest in Sultanpur are Victoria Manzil, Parijaat tree, Christ Church , Sitakund ghat[hindu religious place] and Chimanlal Park. The city has a large number of temples and palaces. HistoryThe original town was situated on the left bank of the Gomti River. It is said to have been founded by Kush, son of Rama, and to have been named after him Kusapura or Kusabhavanpur. This ancient city has been identified by General Cunnigham as Sultanpur mentioned by Hiuentsang, the Chinese traveller. He states that there was in his time a dilapidated stupa of Ashoka and that Buddha taught here for six months. There are Buddhist remains still visible at Mahmoodpur, a village, 8 km distant to the north-west of Sultanpur. The town subsequently fell into the hands of Bhars, who retained it until it was taken from them by Muslims in the 12th century. About seven hundred and fifty years ago, it is said, two brothers,[2] Sayid Muhammad and Sayid Ala-ud-Din, horse dealer by profession, visited eastern Avadh and offered some horses for sale to Bhar Chieftains of Kusabhavanpur, who seized the horses and put the two brothers to death. This came to the ear of Ala-ud-Din Khilji, who would not allow such an outrage to pass unpunished. Gathering a mighty force, therefore, he set out for Kusabhavanpur and took revenge by killing most of the Bhars by strategem adopted after a long drawn siege. Kusabhavanpur was reduced to ashes and the town of Sultanpur, so called from the rank of the victor, rose upon its ruins. This town was finally raised to the ground during the military operations connected with the reoccupation of the province in consequence of the inhabitants having been concerned in the murder of British officers at the outbreak of the freedom struggle of 1857.[2] Before annexation a military station and cantonment were established on the right bank of the river in a village then known as Girghit but more commonly called by officials Sultanpur or Chhaoni Sarkar and by the rustic population Kampu or the Cam. The present town of Sultanpur has been developed at this site. In this city there are two parks, one maintained by Soldiers', Sailers' and Airmen's board and other privately maintained known as Chimanlal Park.[2] DemographicsAs of 2011, Sultanpur had a population of 3,797,117 of which 1,914,586 were males and 1,882,531 were females.
