	The word Ghazipur does  not  figure as  such in ancient Indian History, but according to some historians Raja Ghadhi father of Maharsi  Jamdagni was from this place.  During that period this place was covered with  dense forests and in it many Ashrams were situated viz. Yamdagni (father of Parasuram) Ashram,  Parsuram   Ashram, Madan Van etc. The  Maharshi Gautam's Ashram  was  near Ghazipur town some 16 Kms. east around  the village  Gauspur. Sarnath, where Lord Buddha got Bodhisatva or enlightenment in 6th century B.C is about 65 km. west from  this district  headquarter  &  falls  in Varanasi district. Thus    it  became  a   center  of  Budha's  preachings  during  his  time . This   town was  an  important  centre during Buddhist  period. The   Chinese  traveller    Hiuen  Tsang  mentions  this  locality  as "Chanchu"   meaning the soil of battlefields which is signified by many important battles fought here.
