## About

Though there is no any documented evidence, but as per the villagers, the village was settled around 18th century by group of  Gwalas (Yadav) migrated from Bansghatgonra ( a village, whchich has become a part of today's Patna). The group was led by Chhitnu Ray Yadav, who became the first landlord of the village. The village was settled by clearing the Jungle area predominant with the trees of Jamun, hence named Jamuniya.
