Tari or Mednipur before came in the zamindari of Gosai mal Rai a descendant of Maharaja Kam Dev Misir. Gosaimal adopted Islam in the 1540s. Gosaimal Rao got 20,000 bigha ancestral land or zamindari at a place where he established Ramaval village. He brought some people from his relatives and brothers and established the village Mednipur, Chaukiya, and Sonwal. Before Mednipur was part of Ramaval but was later population increased and a new village was made named as Mednipur or Tari. It derived its name because there was one Tari Ghat which was said to be built by Kam Dev and his descendants.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Ghazipur Gazetteer|url=https://dspace.gipe.ac.in/xmlui/handle/10973/37271|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}
