History
In the year 1801, the region was transferred by the Nawab of Awadh to the British East India Company and Gorakhpur was raised to the status of a district. In 1829, Gorakhpur was made the headquarters of a division of the same name, comprising the districts of Gorakhpur, Ghazipur and Azamgarh. R.M. Biad was the first appointed Commissioner.
Nowadays, Gorakhpur has become a hub for readymade garments and is also known for Terracotta.[4]
Presently, Azamgarh is a separate division lying in the south of Gorakhpur division, while the present day Ghazipur district is a part of Varanasi division and Ballia district, which was carved out of Ghazipur, is now included in Azamgarh division.
