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.

Bawal Town

Head-quarters of the nizamat of the same name in Nabha State, Punjab, situated in 28° 4' N. and 76° 36' E., 10 miles south of Rewari. Population (1901), 5,739. Founded in 1205 by Rao Miswala, Chauhan Rajput of Alwar, it eventually came under the Nawabs of Jhajjar and then passed to Nabha. It has since greatly developed, though its trade suffers from competition with Rewari. It contains several old buildings, the most interesting of which is a mosque built in 1560 and still in good repair. It possesses a police station, an Anglo-vernacular middle school, and a dispensary.
