Sometime before the 1800s, Panwari was held by local Muslim landowners, who built a small mud fort to the west of the main village site. Around the year 1800, the village was sold by auction and bought by a British plantation owner named Baillie, who established an indigo factory at Panwari. The village was later sold to a man named Gobind Parshad, who had previously been a servant in Baillie's employ; Gobind Parshad's descendants were still the main landowners in Panwari a century later. At that point, around the turn of the 20th century, Panwari was described as a large agricultural village which consisted of 16 distinct settlements. Its population as of 1901 was 3,006. Administratively, it was part of pargana Itimadpur.Demographics
