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.

Saralbhanga

River of Assam, which rises in Bhutan and flows in a tortuous southerly course through Goalpara District, till it falls into the Brahmaputra. Its principal tributary is the Gaurang, which gives its name to the lower reaches of the river. Through the greater part of its course it flows through jungle land, but it is one of the recognized trade routes of the District by which timber and other forest produce are exported. During the rainy season, boats of 4 tons burden can proceed as far as Patgaon, north of the trunk road. The total length of the Saralbhanga is about 81 miles.
