History
Originally called Bulakinagar, Garhi Sanjar Khan was the first site that the Amanzai Pathans came to in the region.[2] Their ancestor, Diwan Muhammad Khan, was originally from Banair, near Peshawar, and had been invited to Hindustan by Darya Khan Lodi.[2] Diwan Muhammad Khan's sons, Kawal Khan and Bahadur Khan, were then followers of Darya Khan's sons, Diler Khan (governor of Awadh) and Bahadur Khan (governor of Kabul).[2] The brothers Kawal and Bahadur came to Bulakinagar in 1656; Bahadur's son Sarmast Khan later left and settled in nearby Bakhtiyarnagar, while Kawal Khan's son Sanjar Khan remained in Bulakinagar and gave the village its present name of Garhi Sanjar Khan.[2] Sanjar Khan's descendants remained the zamindars of the village into the 20th century.[2] The last of these great zamindars, Arshad Ullah Khan passed away 9 May 1988 in his ancestral mansion "Amjad Mahal".
The 1961 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 1,340 (706 male and 634 female), in 267 households and 226 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 259 acres.[4]
The 1981 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as having a population of 1,951 people, in 331 households, and covering an area of 104.82 hectares.[3]
