This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Central western Tahsil of Allgarh District, United Provinces, comprising the parganas of Hasangarh and Gorai, and lying between 27° 35' and 27° 55 N. and 77° 47' and 78 3' E., with an area of 213 square miles. Population increased from 107,227 in 1891 to 118,803 ri 1901. There are 209 villages and one town, Beswan (population, 2,871). The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 2,96,000, and for cesses Rs. 49,000. The Tahsil is intersected by high ridges of sandy soil with good loam between. There is no canal- irrigation, and well-irrigation has become more difficult of late years owing to a fall in the spring-level. In 1903-4 the area under cultiva- tion was 187 square miles, of which only 78 were irrigated.
