Nuruddinpur was historically the seat of a taluqdari estate held by a branch of the Kanhpuria Rajputs.[4] The Nuruddinpur branch was an offshoot of the Rajas of Kaithaula (in what is now Pratapgarh district, which itself claims descent from Kanh, the dynasty's legendary founder, through his son Sahas.[4] The Kaithaula raja Kalyan Singh had two sons; one of them, Jurawan Singh, was the one who established the Nuruddinpur branch.[4] He supposedly gained land in the pargana of Salon by being adopted by one Bahadur Singh of Kuturia, although this Bahadur Singh is not attested anywhere else.[4] Jageshwar Bakhsh Singh (d. 1854), a sixth-generation descendant of Jurawan Singh, was pressured into signing a deed transferring the estate to one Muazzam Khan, but his widow Babuain Qadam Kunwar secured the sanad for the estate and it remained a family possession until the 20th century.[4]
