Near Bangarmau is [[Sanchan Kot]], where in 2009, an [[Archaeological Survey of India]] excavation unearthed a 2000-year-old Shiva temple.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/2000-yr-old-Shiva-shrine-found/articleshow/4172761.cms|title=2000-yr-old Shiva shrine found |date=February 23, 2009|first=Shailvee|last=Sharda|website=The Times of India|language=en|access-date=2019-12-16}}</ref>

== History ==
Bangarmau was the first Hindu settlement in the area of present-day Unnao district, dating back to around the year 1300.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> According to legend, the town was founded when a Hindu holy man named Rekkha Bangar attempted to take up residence near the town of [[Nawal, Uttar Pradesh|Nawal]], which was ruled by a Hindu raja named Nal.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The raja refused and sent men to expel him by force, but Bangar laid a curse on them so that the raja and all his people died, and the town of Nawal was turned upside-down.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The modern village of Nawal is built on top of its ruins, and old artifacts are still sometimes dug up.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Sayyid Ala-ud-Din then went on to found the city of Bangarmau, which is where he was buried after he died.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> A shrine was built over his grave, and it has an inscription dated to 702 [[Hijri year|AH]], or 1302 CE.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> Ala-ud-Din's descendants remain custodians of the shrine, which at one point was "rich and famous" before declining by the turn of the 20th century.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Despite Bangarmau's Muslim origin and prominent shrine, though, it never became thoroughly Islamised, and the population remains mostly Hindu.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

Bangarmau is referred to in the ''[[Baburnama]]'', the autobiography of [[Babur]], where Babur mentions that he camped near a lake situated in Bangarmau on 15 March 1528 and the following day left for Lucknow. Bangarmau belongs to the area under influence of a [[Sufism in India|Sufi]] saint Madar Shah of the Madaria sect. Several villages named are after him situated around Bangarmau.

Bangarmau's population steadily declined during the second half of the 19th century.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>

At the turn of the 20th century, Bangarmau was described as a well-built town almost surrounded by extensive orchards; about half the houses were built with brick.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> It had 16 mosques and several Hindu temples, as well as a police station and a middle school with 120 students.<ref name="Gazetteer"/> The town held markets twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays; its commerce was helped by its advantageous location at a crossroads.<ref name="Gazetteer"/>
