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.

Jagalur

Northern taluk of Chitaldroog District, Mysore, lying between 14° 24' and 14° 42' N. and 76° 7' and 76° 32' E., with an area of 372 square miles. The population in 1901 was 47,196, compared with 38,229 in 1 89 1. The taluk contains one town, Jagalur (popula- tion, 3,307), the head-quarters; and 168 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was Rs. 60,000. The country is slightly undulating, except where a low and rugged range of hills, covered with thorn jungle, runs from the middle to the north-west. The Chiknayakanhalli auriferous band crosses the taluk on both sides of this range. The Janagahalla river flows along the east, and a stream from the Anaji tank along the west. The soil in the south is superior to that in the north. Black soil predominates near Jagalur and Bilchod. Cotton and white jola are grown only on the black soil. Rice and sugar-cane are much cultivated.
