Historically, Lucknow was the capital of the Awadh region, Controlled by the Delhi Sultanate and later the Mughal Empire. It was transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856, The British East India Company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and, In 1857, transferred it to the British Raj.

"Lucknow" is the anglicised spelling of the local pronunciation "Lakhnau". According to one legend, the city is named after Lakshmana, A hero of the Hindu epic Ramayana. The legend states that Lakshmana had a palace or an estate in the area, Which was called Lakshmanapuri. The settlement came to be known as Lakhanpur (or Lachhmanpur) by the 11th century, And later, Lucknow.
