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.

Kyaiklat Township

Northern township of Pyapon District, Lower Burma, lying between 16° 23' and 16° 41 N. and 95° 26' and 95° 54' E., with an area of 277 square miles. The growth of popula- tion in the past has been rapid, but most of the township is now under cultivation, and the increase will probably slacken in the future. The population was 47.000 in 1891, and 71,770 in 1901, distributed in the latter year in one town, Kyaiklat (population, 7,774), the head- quarters, and 394 villages, with a density of 259 persons per square mile. Kyaiklat is flat and fertile. The area cultivated increased from 62 square miles in 1891 to 219 square miles in 1903-4, paying Rs. 2,37,000 land revenue.
