Thakurdwara Tahsil, 1908

Northern tahsil of Moradabad District, United Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of the same name, lying between 28° 56' and 29° 16' N. and 78° 39' and 78° 55' E., with an area of 240 square miles. Population fell from 121,174 in 1891 to 116,814 in 1901. There are 261 villages and one town, Thakur- dwara (population, 6,111), the tahsll head-quarters. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 1,87,000, and for cesses Rs. 32,000, The density of population, 487 persons per square mile, is below the District average. The tahsll is a submontane tract, cut up by nume- rous small streams, none of which is of importance. The Ramganga, into which they fall, flows near the western border. The staple crop is rice, but sugar-cane is also grown largely. In 1902-3 the area under cultivation was 164 square miles, of which 14 were irrigated. Wells and rivers each supply about two-fifths of the irrigated area.
