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.

Patti Tahsil, 1908

Eastern tahsil of Partabgarh District, United 

Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of the same name, lying between 25 39' and 26 4' N. and 81 56' and 82 27' E., with an area of 467 square miles. Population increased from 272,592 in 1891 to 272,760 in 1901. There are 802 villages, but no town. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 406,000, and for cesses Rs. 57,000. The density of population, 584 persons per square mile, is the lowest in the District. Through the centre of the tahsll flows the Sai, while the Gumti touches the north-east corner. A con- siderable area is badly drained, and a cut is now being made to improve it. The greater part, however, is fertile, and sugar-cane is grown more largely than elsewhere in the District. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 256 square miles, of which 136 were irri- gated. Wells supply twice as large an area as tanks or swamps.
