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.

Kadi Taluka

South-western taluka of the Kadi prant, Baroda State, with an area of 331 square miles. The population fell from 96,782 in 1 89 1 to 71,784 in 1901. The taluka contains one town, Kadi (population, 13,070), the head-quarters of the taluk, and of the prant until 1904 ; and 118 villages. The general aspect of the taluka is very unprepossessing, as it consists for the most part of an uninter- rupted plain bare of all trees. Round the town of Kadi, however, and in its neighbourhood there are trees in fair abundance, a gentle undu- lating country, and numerous tanks. The soil for the most part is light and sandy. In 1904-5 the land revenue was Rs. 2,58,000.
