History
Makhi was supposedly founded around the year 1000 by a Lodh named Makhi, who named the village after himself.[3] The Lodhs were then conquered by one Raja Ishri Singh, from Mainpuri, whose descendants remained the zamindars of the village through the 20th century.[3]
At the turn of the 20th century, Makhi was described as a very large village at the far southern part of the pargana of Asiwan Rasulabad.[3] The Ramlila fair did not draw very large crowds then, and the village's industries included the manufacture of earthenware pottery and some silver ornaments.[3] It had two temples, one to Devi and one to Mahadeo, and its population (which was 4,544 as of the 1901 census) consisted mostly of Chauhan Thakurs and Brahmins.[3]
The 1961 census recorded Makhi as comprising 19 hamlets, with a total population of 6,447 (3,411 male and 3,036 female), in 1,130 households and 1,042 physical houses.[4] The area of the village was given as 5,529 acres.[4] Average attendance of the biweekly market was about 400 people at the time.[4] The village had a medical practitioner at the time, as well as the following small-scale industrial establishments: 1 grain mill, 3 miscellaneous food processing facilities, 1 maker of garments, 1 maker of sundry hardwares, and 3 uncategorised manufacturers.[4]
