''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. ''

=Srinagar Town=

Town in Garhwal District, United Provinces, 
situated in 30° 13' N. and 78° 46' E., on the left bank of the Alak- 
nanda, at an elevation of 1,706 feet above sea-level. Population (1901), 
2,091. The old town was founded in the seventeenth century and 
became the capital of Garhwal ; but it was washed away in 1894 in the 
flood caused by the bursting of the Gohna lake. The new town has 
been built on a higher site, and is well laid out. Srinagar ranks next 
to Kotdwara in importance, and owes its trade chiefly to its 
position on the pilgrim route. It contains a fine hospital and a police 
station, and is administered under Act XX of 1856, with an income of 
about Rs. 1,100. A private school has 198 pupils.
