History

The population of Mallawan in 1901 was 11,158. Under native rule the town possessed considerable political importance, and upon the British annexation of Oudh it was selected as the headquarters of the district, but was abandoned in favor of Hardoi after the Mutiny. Saltpetre and brass utensils are traditionally manufactured in this city.. The Baba Sunasir Nath Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is famous for its glory and miracles for time immemorial. Due to numerous Shiva temples or Shivalaas and immense faith of people to Lord Shiva, Mallanwan was called Chhoti Kashi. The town caught great development in recent years with the efforts initiated by the Municipality of the town, the roads are mostly cemented and there is also no problem of water due to huge availability of tabs and ponds but the people appear to be most annoyed with shortage of electricity and frequent power cuts.
