''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts.Many units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Akbarpur Tahsil=

Central tahsil of Cawnpore District, United
Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of the same name, lying
between 26 degree 15' and 26 degree 33' N. and 79 degree 51' and 8o° n' E., with an
area of 245 square miles.

Population increased from 102,256 in 1891
to 107,729 in 1901. There are 199 villages and one town, Akbarpur
(population, 4,734), the tahsil head-quarters. The demand for land
revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 2,16,000, and for cesses Rs. 35,000. The
density of population, 440 persons per square mile, is below the District
average. Three rivers flow through the tahsil and determine its physical
features.

The Rind crosses the north and forms part of the eastern
boundary ; on its banks the soil is reddish and very fertile. The Non
rises in a swamp and drains the central belt of loam, the fertility of
which is diminished by barren usar and dhak jungle. The soil then
deteriorates as the ravines of the Sengar, which marks the southern
boundary, are approached. Irrigation is supplied by the Etawah
branch of the Lower Ganges Canal.

In 1903-4 the area under cultiva-
tion was 131 square miles, of which 66 were irrigated, canals supplying
two-thirds and wells most of the remainder.
