Brahmani was historically part of the taluqdari estate belonging to the Rajas of Tiloi.[3] Its commercial importance grew with the opening of the railway station at Fursatganj.[3] At the turn of the 20th century, it also had a small school and a post office.[3] The population in 1901 was 1,690, including a large number of Ahirs and Banias.[3]
An aerodrome was constructed at Fursatganj in 1941–42.[4]
