Naral Subdivision, 1908

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.

South-eastern subdivision of Jessore District, Bengal, lying between 22° 58' and 23° 21' N. and 89° 23' and 89° 50' E., with an area of 487 square miles. The population in 1901 was 352,281, compared with 348,537 in 1891. It contains 810 villages, including Naral, its head-quarters ; but no town. The subdivision, which is entirely alluvial, is less unhealthy than other parts of Jessore, and being lower, it still receives occasional deposits of silt ; it is thus more thickly populated, and has a density of 723 persons per square mile. The principal marts are at Naral, Naldi, and Lohagara.
