==History==
Gahmar was settled by [[Sikarwar]]s, the descendants of Dham Deo singh who came from the vicinity of Fatehpur Sikri after Babur captured it in 1527 AD. They are the descendants of Dham Deo Singh's brother [[Maharaja Kam Dev Singh]]. After moving east from Fatehpur Sikri, initially, both of them settled in Sakradih, but due to floods, Dham Deo migrated to Maa Kamakhya Dham near Gahmar and Kam Deo settled in Reotipur.

By 1800, 23 ''pattis'' in Gahmar were established by the clan members.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ansari |first1=Saiyad Hasan |title=Evolution and Spatial Organization of Clan Settlements: A Case Study of Middle Ganga Valley |date=1986 |publisher=Concept Publishing Company |page=103-106 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dxDWbsztdVQC&q=sakarwar+gahmar&pg=PA96 |access-date=15 February 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
