Its ancient name of Gadhipur was changed to Ghazipur in about 1330, reputedly in honour of Ghazi Malik, a Muslim ruler. The town was a strategically important river port under the British, whose former cantonment now contains a college, a church, a bazaar, and the mausoleum of Lord Cornwallis, a British viceroy who died there in 1805. Ghazipur is an agricultural market with some industry, including perfume making, handloom weaving, and an opium factory. The town lies on a major road and two railways. Ghazipur district, 1,305 sq mi (3,381 sq km) in area, is a tract of alluvial plain traversed by the Ganges River. A poor district, subject to frequent floods and droughts, it produces a variety of crops, including opium. Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
