History
The settlement of Kundarki (कुंदारकी) predates the Mughal Empire. Historical records show its existence as early as the 10th century. Much later, in 1363, the explorer Ibn Battuta stayed there briefly.
In 1628, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan named Abdul Razzaq Sahab as Kundarki's shahar qazi, an Islamic judge. One of his descendants, Saeyad Raza Ali, was knighted by the British government and made the agent-general of South Africa. In 1874, Mir Hadi Ali, the grandfather of Sir Saeyad Raza Ali, introduced a railway station in Kundarki.
Kundarki also came under the bhatnagar king the kaystha dynasty .They reside in kundarki till now.
Kundarki became a panchayat in 1858 and a "town area" in 1907. In 1960, it was made a community development block, and over the next 30 years, a water system (1962), power station (1976) and police station (1986) were built. In 1994, to reflect the town's development, the government of Uttar Pradesh declared it a nagar panchayat.
A prominent attraction in Kundarki is its miniature Taj Mahal, made by a social worker, Chidda Khansari.
