According to the Pauranic tradition the earliest known Aryan people who settled in this region, lying between the Yamuna and the Vindhyas, were known as Chedis.
  
       The Chedi kingdom was known as tone of the 16 most important kingdom of that period in Mahabharat. The Mahabharata describes the Chedis as being blessed with knowledge of the eternal law of righteousness. King Shishupal, ruled this kingdom and killed by Krishna.

Hamirpur is well connected to the outside world. No railway station is at Hamirpur Town. The nearest railway station is Hamirpur Road which is around 5–6 km from the district headquarter and that's is in Kanpur district. Demand for the railway station has been raised several times but of no use. Other nearer Railway station is Bharuwa Sumerpur which is 16 km from Hamirpur.

Connectivity in Hamirpur could not be improved over the years due to worst nh 86.

Recently in the railway budget 2010, the minister of railways Mamta Benarji has announce survey of Hamirpur Road (Baripal)--Hamirpur line which is a good step for better connectivity of Hamirpur with Kanpur provided the poor road condition on NH-86.

The connectivity is the main problem for the people of Hamirpur. The road join Hamirpur to Orai is got the place in world's worst road. Any road connected to Hamirpur is bad. It's very painful to travell by roads but there is no other option for the public of the city to travell for Hamirpur to any other place. It's very timetaking.
