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.

Phagwara Town

Town in the Phagwara tahsil, Kapurthala State, Punjab, situated in 31 14' N. and 75 47' E., on the North- Western Railway. Population (1901), 14,108. The town is growing rapidly in population and commercial importance, as the exemption of its market from octroi enables it to compete on favourable terms with neighbouring towns in British territory.
