History
Originally called Bulakinagar, Garhi Sanjar Khan was the first site that the Amanzai Pathans came to in the region. Their ancestor, Diwan Muhammad Khan, was originally from Banair, near Peshawar, and had been invited to Hindustan by Darya Khan Lodi. Diwan Muhammad Khan's sons, Kawal Khan and Bahadur Khan, were then followers of Darya Khan's sons, Diler Khan (governor of Awadh) and Bahadur Khan (governor of Kabul). The brothers Kawal and Bahadur came to Bulakinagar in 1656; Bahadur's son Sarmast Khan later left and settled in nearby Bakhtiyarnagar, while Kawal Khan's son Sanjar Khan remained in Bulakinagar and gave the village its present name of Garhi Sanjar Khan. Sanjar Khan's descendants remained the zamindars of the village into the 20th century. The last of these great zamindars, Arshad Ullah Khan passed away 9 May 1988 in his ancestral mansion "Amjad Mahal".
The 1961 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as comprising 3 hamlets, with a total population of 1,340 (706 male and 634 female), in 267 households and 226 physical houses. The area of the village was given as 259 acres.
The 1981 census recorded Garhi Sanjar Khan as having a population of 1,951 people, in 331 households, and covering an area of 104.82 hectares.
