In 1628, the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan named Abdul Razzaq Sahab as Kundarki's shahar qazi, an Islamic judge. One of his descendants, Saeyad Raza Ali, was knighted by the British government and made the agent-general of South Africa. In 1874, Mir Hadi Ali, the grandfather of Sir Saeyad Raza Ali, introduced a railway station in Kundarki.[1]

Kundarki became a panchayat in 1858 and a "town area" in 1907. In 1960, it was made a community development block, and over the next 30 years, a water system (1962), power station (1976) and police station (1986) were built. In 1994, to reflect the town's development, the government of Uttar Pradesh declared it a nagar panchayat.
