History[]

According to tradition, the spot now occupied by Jhalotar was once a dhak jungle where a faqir named Mushtaq Shah lived.[1] A Chamar man also built a house nearby, made a clearing, and started a village called "Jhali" here; the name later became Jhalotar.[1] Jhalotar is listed in the Ain-i-Akbari as the seat of a pargana, and at some point the Subahdar of Awadh built a fort here.[1] In 1770, , the minister of the Nawab of Awadh, was granted a jagir in the Jhalotar pargana, which was split off to become a new pargana based at Ajgain.[1] The two parganas were merged again under the British Raj.[1] At the turn of the 20th century, Jhalotar was described as a small village with a population of 682.[1] It hosted a small market once per week.[1]

The 1961 census recorded Jhalotar as comprising 1 hamlet, with a total population of 854 (445 male and 409 female), in 164 households and 153 physical houses.[3] The area of the village was given as 432 acres.[3]
