[citation needed] Vishnudham, Samas[1] and Panchvadan Sthan, Kusedhi are some prominent temples of Barbigha.

The earliest known historical mention of Barbigha dates back to 1812, when Francis Buchanan referred to it as Barabigha, a spelling variation of the name.

At that time, it was noted to consist of nearly 1,000 households, similar to its divisional headquarters, Sheikhpura.

[10] The same Barbigha police station reported the discovery of a hoard of 96 treasure trove coins of the Sultans of Delhi during the period of 1919-1920.

A report from 1903 mentions the ongoing construction of the district road to Sheikhpura to serve as feeder of South Bihar Railway.
