History
At the turn of the 20th century, Dedaur was described as a large but otherwise unremarkable village, held in taluqdari tenure by the Raja of Birsinghpur as part of the Simarpaha estate.[4] The population in 1901 was 2,224, more than half of whom were Kurmis, and there was an aided school in the village.[4]
The 1961 census recorded Didaur (as "Dedaur") as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 2,125 people (1,119 male and 1,006 female), in 512 households and 496 physical houses.[5] The area of the village was given as 2,475 acres and it had a post office and medical practitioner at that point.[5] It also had one grain mill, one small miscellaneous food processing establishment, and one manufacturer/repairer of items not assignable to any group.[5] Average attendance of the Badhwapur-ka-Mela and Jhurhapur-ka-Mela festivals was about 400 people each then.[5]
The 1981 census recorded Didaur (as "Dedaur") as having a population of 3,406 people, in 609 households, and having an area of 1,012.96 hectares.[3] The main staple foods were given as wheat and rice.[3]
