History
Kadipur was historically a relatively minor village without any particular importance until it was made the headquarters of a tehsil.[5] It was chosen mainly because it was centrally located within the tehsil.[5] At the turn of the 20th century, Kadipur had the tehsil offices, a thana, a pound, and a thriving upper primary school.[5] It also had a bazar, which was described as "a very small one for a tahsili town".[5] A village bank had also been established.[5] As of 1901, its population was 793, with the majority of the population being Brahmins.[5] Kadipur was then held by some minor Rajkumar zamindars, with some of the Brahmins holding under-proprietary rights.[5]
