Nadiad Taluka, 1908

Central taluka of Kaira District, Bombay, lying between 22° 35' and 22° 53' N. and 72° 46' and 73" 5' E., with an area of 224 square miles. It contains two towns, Nadiad (population, 31,435), the head-quarters, and Mahudha (8,544) ; and 91 villages, including Chaklasi (7,340). The population in 1901 was 148,452, compared with 171,084 in 1891. The density, 663 persons to the square mile, is much above the District average. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to more than 4-3 lakhs. Well-grown groves of fruit and timber trees, highly tilled fields girt with hedges, and large substantially built villages, prove the taluka to be one of the richest parts of Gujarat.

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.
