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.

Patheingyi

Township to the east of Mandalay city in Mandalay District, Upper Burma, lying between 21 51' and 22 8' N. and 96 3' and 96 24' E., with an area of 213 square miles. Its population was 31,597 in 1891, and 28,546 in 1901, distributed in 152 villages, the head-quarters being at Patheingyi (population, 532), about 6 miles north-east of Mandalay. The western part of the township is irrigated by the Shwetachaung Canal and produces rice ; the eastern is high land bearing 'dry crops.' Mayin rice is cultivated below the Nanda tank and west of the Shwetachaung Canal, and the centre of the township is now irrigated by the Mandalay Canal. The area cultivated was 65 square miles in 1903-4, but will probably increase largely now that the Mandalay Canal has been completed. The land revenue and thathameda amounted to Rs. 2,02,000.
