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.
[edit] Lachhmangarh
Head-quarters of a tahsil of the same name in the State of Alwar, Rajputana, situated in 27° 22' N. and 76° 52' E., 23 miles south-east of Alwar city, and 15 miles east of Malakhera station on the Rajputana-Malwa Railway. The old name of the place was Taur. The village possesses a post ofiice, a vernacular school, and a hospital with accommodation for 4 in-patients. In 1901 it contained 2,660 inhabitants. The tahsil is situated in the south-east of the State, and at the last Census consisted of 175 villages, with a total population of 61,727, of whom nearly 80 per cent, were Hindus and 19 per cent. Musalmans. It was formerly held by semi- independent Thakurs of Jaipur, but was seized about 1776 by Pratap Singh, the first chief of Alwar.
