Geography
Dehuli is located on the Sirsaganj-Karhal road, roughly equidistant from both of them.History
Dehuli appears in the annals of the Delhi Sultanate around the year 1420, when Taj ul-Mulk, a general under the sultan Khizr Khan, led a punitive campaign against a rebellion in the area. The sources mention how Taj ul-Mulk's forces sacked Dehuli, which they describe as "the strongest place in the possession of the infidels". E. R. Neaves interpreted this as a reference to the Bais Rajputs, who in later times were zamindars of Dehuli; he wrote that they were probably local rulers of Dehuli in the 1400s as well.As of 1910, Dehuli was described as having a village school, three temples in the village, and two temples outside the village proper. A market was held twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The population as of 1901 was 362. Due to its small size, the village had become relatively unimportant, but it had previously been the seat of a tappa. This tappa was joined with Jakhan in Etawah district to form the pargana of "Dehli-Jahkan", or Bibamau, which was later distributed between the parganas of Barnahal in Mainpuri and Bibamau in Etawah. As of 1910 Dehuli was under Barnahal.
