Sultanpur

Sultanpur

formerly  Kusapura  or  Kushbhawanpur 

      city, central Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It is located on the Gomati River, southeast of Lucknow. Sultanpur has existed since ancient times; it was destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly before passing under the rule of Muslim sultans. The Muslim town was destroyed during the Indian Mutiny (1857–58), and the present settlement arose as a British military outpost. It is primarily an agricultural trade centre. Sultanpur's surrounding area comprises a stretch of alluvial plain on both sides of the Gomati River. Wheat, rice, and barley are grown there. Pop. (2001) 100,065.
