District Sitapur is famous in India due to its mythological & historical background. There is no official description for its name but as the traditional sayings Sitapur is referred to as Lord Ram’s wife Sita. It is said that she stayed with Lord Ram at this place during a pilgrimage. Afterward, King Vikramaditya established this city in memory of Sita and gave the place the name, Sitapur. According to Abul Fazal’s Aaina Akbari, this place was called Chatyapur or Chitiapur during the reign of Akbar. According to ancient history, this place was included in the Kingdom of Shingunags of Magadh, after the Kaushal Naresh son Bidudabh. After the fall of Nanda & Mauryas, this area came into the power of the Shunga dynasty. Some clay statues of the Shunga style were found in tehsil Sidhauli. Similarly, some small statues of the Gupta period were found in Badesar tehsil Mushrik. The holy place of Naimisharanya, situated on the left bank of Gomti, is a pilgrimage where Maharishi Ved Vyas created Purans.

It is said that Sita proved her purity & assimilated into the pious soil of Naimish. Sitapur district was always politically awakened.
