Sikandarpur is a village in Sikandarpur Sarausi block of Unnao district, Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] Located 10 km northwest of the city of Unnao,[2] near the Barkota lake,[3] it serves as the block headquarters as well as the seat of a nyaya panchayat.[2] It is also the namesake of a historical pargana.[2] The main crops in Sikandarpur are wheat, barley, gram, juwar, and paddy, and irrigation is largely done by wells.[2] It has a post office and a veterinary hospital.[2] As of 2011, its population is 4,510, in 752 households.[1]
Sikandarpur was originally called Burhanpur, but the name was changed in 1297 by Sikandar Khan, an agent of Ala-ud-Din Khilji. It later lent its name to a pargana, previously named after the neighbouring village of Sarosi; C.A. Elliott wrote in 1862 that the name change had "recently become habitual" at the time.[3]
At the turn of the 20th century, Sikandarpur was described as one of the main villages in its namesake pargana.[3] It had a lower primary school and a temple to Mahadeo, and its population as of 1901 was 1,727, including a Muslim minority of 263.[3] Brahmins were the most numerous caste at the time.[3]
This village today comprises a tempo stand called Sikandarpur Tempo Stand alongside a fresh vegetable and fruit market called Sikandarpur Bazaar, which settles every wednesday and saturday.
