According to their history, they were originally settled at Ratanpur in the Central Provinces but in 850 A.D., they migrated northwards to Manjha on the Gogra in the [[Saran district]], where they waged successful war with the aboriginal [[Cheros]]. Two centuries later, they left Manjha and settled south of the Ganges at [[Bihiya]], and after a struggle lasting several hundred years subdued the Cheros who then held the country.<ref>{{Citation|title=Taylor, James Henry, (20 Aug. 1861–14 Jan. 1926), late Deputy Commissioner, Angul District, Orissa, Bihar and Orissa, India|date=2007-12-01|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.u203665|work=Who Was Who|publisher=Oxford University Press|access-date=2021-10-17}}</ref>

In or about the year 1528 A.D., the Raja Bhoput Deo, violated Mahini, a Brahman woman, who thereupon burnt herself to death and in dying imprecated the most fearful curses on the Harihobans Rajputs. After this tragedy, the clan left [[Bihiya]] and moved across the Ganges to [[Ballia district|Ballia]]. It is said that nothing will induce members of the Harihobans sept to enter Bihiya, though it was once the chief seat of their clan and the remains of their ancestors' fort may still be seen there.<ref>{{Citation|title=Taylor, James Henry, (20 Aug. 1861–14 Jan. 1926), late Deputy Commissioner, Angul District, Orissa, Bihar and Orissa, India|date=2007-12-01|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.u203665|work=Who Was Who|publisher=Oxford University Press|access-date=2021-10-17}}</ref>
