Dhanauli is a census town in Agra district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

[edit] History

Dhanauli has also been known as Dhanoli. This had been a small village for most part of the 20th Century. This small village used to revolve around a powerful family of Paliwals. This family controlled most of the land and the revenue coming out of it was shared with the Mughal kingdom of Agra. Paliwals migrated to Dhanauli sometime in 16th-17th century from Rajasthan. They created a small settlement and over a period became very rich and powerful. The main occupation of Paliwals was farming and money-lending. Till late 1980s the village was fairly small. However, a caste related violence in 1991 between Jats and Jatavs, forced the Jatavs of the hinterland to move out and settle in Dhanauli which is fairly close to the Agra city.
