Piparpur is a village in Bhadar block of Amethi district, Uttar Pradesh, India. [2] The historical capital of the pargana of Asal, Piparpur is located on the road from Amethi to Chanda, just west of the intersection with the main Allahabad- Faizabad road. [3] Running through the village is a stream that originates in the Bhujwa jhil and flows into neighbouring Prataphgarh district where it joins with the Chamraura. [3] The banks of this stream are well-wooded; they used to be more so, but a lot of it was cut down around the turn of the 20th century to provide materials for the railway. [3] There is also some significant usar land, especially in the north of the village. [3]
Piparpur has a train station on the Faizabad-Sultanpur-Allahabad branch of the Northern Railway zone; it is located 13 km from the previous station at Sultanpur Junction and 11 km from the next station at Khundaur. [4] The station is located to the east of the village. [3]

[5]

[3] The Piparpur railway station was built in 1901; [4] before this, its main claim to importance was as the seat of a police thana. [3] It also held a market. [3] At the turn of the 20th century, Piparpur was held in bhaiyachara tenure by a huge group of over 200 Bachgoti Rajputs along with a few Kayasths and Banias. [3] Due to conflict among the landowners, a process of partition was begun in 1902. [3] Its population as of 1901 was 1,806 people, mostly Rajputs; in addition to the Hindu population there was also a small Muslim minority of 101. [3]

[5] Members of scheduled castes numbered 508, or 21% of the village's total population, while no members of scheduled tribes were recorded. [5] The literacy rate of the village was 34% (1,023 men and 396 women, counting only people age 7 and up).
