Situated approximately 18 km from the district headquarters, Reotipur is known for its rich cultural heritage and traditional rural charm.

It is characterized by flood plains of Ganga river and lush green fields and is home to a diverse population engaged primarily in agriculture and local crafts.

The village is renowned for its annual Dusshera festival, featuring football tournament, wrestling competitions, plays and dramas.

The village exemplifies a blend of historic charm and contemporary growth, making it a notable location in the Ghazipur district.

[4] Reotipur's location along the banks of the Ganges River has historically made it a favorable site for human habitation.

Its proximity to the river provided a steady water supply and fertile soil for agriculture, essential for sustaining a stable settlement.

A well-known legend in Reotipur recounts a miraculous event involving a group of sadhus (Hindu ascetics) passing through the village.

In 1707, Puran Mal and his brothers fought on the side of Muhammad Azam Shah at Battle of Jajau and on the defeat of that prince, migrated to this district, settling at Mania in the Zamania pargana, while one brother took up his abode at Tahwa, another went to Ramaval and became a Musalman, and a third came to Suhwal, his descendants acquiring that village and Gaura.

The latter being ill-treated by the former sold their share to Puran Mal, who came to Reotipur and there murdered all the Kastwar males by an act of the foulest treachery.

Before his death Puran Mal divided his property among his sons by his third wife, giving a double share to the eldest son Sahajmal Rai and a single portion of eleven mouza in each case to each of the others; but subsequently the heirs of Sahajmal took forcible possession of the greater part of the estate, leaving only an insignificant portion in the hands of the others.

The area receives substantial rainfall during the monsoon season, which often leads to flooding, affecting both agriculture and daily life in the village.

However, the soil health has been deteriorating due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers and the neglect of crop rotation, leading to low nitrogen and organic carbon levels.

[6] The village's agricultural output includes wheat, rice, lentils, gram, vegetables, and bananas, making it a vital contributor to the local economy.

The region also supports diverse wildlife, with species such as deer, nilgai (blue bull), wild boar, and siyar (jackal) commonly found in the area.

Reotipur is located approximately 5 kilometers from the Ganga River, a major waterway that influences the region's agriculture and ecology.

The religious landscape includes significant institutions such as the Thakurbari Gurukul of the Vaishnava sect and the Madrasa of Badi Masjid, which provides primary Islamic teachings.

The town was listed under Ambedkar Gram Yojna by the former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati and as a result, it is granted special privileges for its development program.
