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.

Kadipur

Eastern tahsil of Sultanpur District, United Provinces, comprising the parganas of Aldemau and Chanda, and lying between 2 5° 59' and 26 degree 23' N. and 82 degree 6' and 82 degree 41' E., with an area of 442 square miles. Population fell from 274,458 in 1891 to 265,450 in 19019 the rate of decrease being the highest in the District. There are 741 villages, but no town. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 3,69,000, and for cesses Rs. 59,000. The density of population, 601 persons per square mile, is below the District average. The tahsil is crossed by the Gumti, and contains a large area of low-lying, badly drained ground. It thus suffers considerably in wet years, such as 1894. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 263 square miles, of which 151 were irrigated. Wells and tanks or j fills are of almost equal importance as a source of supply in ordinary years.
