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.

Sadabad Tahsil

Easternmost tahsil of Muttra District, United Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of the same name, lying between 27 16' and 27 31' N. and 77 53' and 78 13' E, with an area of 180 square miles. Population rose from 102,103 m 1891 to 108,886 m 1901. There are 127 villages and two towns, including Sadabad (population, 4,091), the tahsil head-quaiters.

The demand foi land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs 3,07,000, and for cesses Rs. 49,000. The density of population } 605 persons per square mile, is considerably above the District average. A small river, the Karon or Jhirna, crosses the centre of the tahsil, and its channel has been improved by the Irrigation department to serve as an escape. The Jumna just touches the south-western corner. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 154 square miles, of which 59 were irngated. The latter were supplied entirely from wells ; but m November 1903, the Mat branch of the Upper Ganges Canal was opened, which commands the western half of the tahsil. Cotton is relatively a more important crop than in any other part of the District.
