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.

Village in the Diamond Harbour subdivision of the District of the Twenty-four Parganas, Bengal, situated in 22° 15' N. and 88° 23' E. Population (1901), 435. Owing to its position at the confluence of important waterways and upon the Diamond Harbour branch of the Eastern Bengal State Railway, Magra Hat is the largest rice mart in the south of the District, and agencies have been opened for the purchase of rice and the sale of kerosene oil. The Church Missionary Society has a church here.
