This timeline is deliberately uneven. The eras for which no record has been found appear here as gaps rather than as filler. An empty stretch is information too, and in this archive it is the most useful kind.

The Sultanpur District Gazetteer is published

Independence, land reform, schools

2001
The census records a town population of 7,268
Literacy at 56 per cent — 65 male, 47 female. Nineteen per cent of the population under the age of six. It is the first figure that attaches directly to Koiripur rather than to the tehsil.

Still undated: the railway halt, the Nagar Panchayat, the market, 1857
When the railway halt opened, when the Nagar Panchayat was constituted, when the market was established, and what happened here in 1857 — none of these is dated by any source we have found. They are the archive's first research priorities.
