[edit] Jhajjar Tahsil, 1908
This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS. |
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.
Tahsil of Rohtak District, Punjab, lying between 28 degree 21' and 28 degree 41' N. and 76 degree 20' and 76 degree 56' E., with an area of 466 square miles. The population in 1901 was 123,227, compared with 119,453 in 1 89 1. It contains one town, Jhajjar (population, 12,227), the head-quarters ; and 189 villages, including Georgegarh, founded by George Thomas. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to 29 lakhs. The tahsil is intersected in all directions by sand ridges which often rise to a considerable height. On the east the low-lying land used to be regularly flooded by the Sahibi and Indori streams, and large swamps then formed in the depressions; but of recent years the volume of these torrents has diminished, and the country rarely remains flooded for any considerable period. The north of the tahsll is a con- tinuation of the plateau of Rohtak and sampla, while in the south a few low rocky eminences lend variety to the landscape.
