History

The village used to be known as Panditnagar as it was home to poets, vaidyas and kabirajs. It was later settled by Faujdar Sabi Khan and his group, and got its name from Gola-Barud, the Perso-Bengali word for ammunition, as they used to produce ammunition here. The present Gaila Das Bari is thought to have been Sabi Khan's home due to the foundations discovered in the brick walls of the residence.
