''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.

=Isa Khel Tahsil=
Trans-Indus Tahsil of Mianwali District,
Punjab, lying between 32° 30' and 2)^^ 14'' N. and 71° 7' and
71° 44' E., with an area of 678 square miles. It contains the muni-
cipalities of Isa Khel (population, 7,630), the head-quarters, and
Kalabagh (5,824) ; and 43 villages. The land revenue and cesses
in 1903-4 amounted to i-6 lakhs. Lying on the west bank of the
Indus, this tahsil is cut off from the rest of the District, and would
seem to belong more properly to the North-West Frontier Province,
but is separated even more completely from Bannu by the semicircular
fringe of the Chichali and Maidani hills, which leave it open only
on the river side. These hills drain into Isa Khel and make it fertile.

Its extreme northern portion, known as the Bhangi Khel country,
is a wild and rugged region, a continuation of the Khattak hills.
The Bhangi Khel are a soldierly, but numerically small, section of the
great Khattak tribe, and occupied their present country about 400
years ago. The tahsil derives its name from the Isa Khel tribe,
a section of the Niazai Afghans, who, settling here during the sixteenth
century, long maintained their independence of the Mughal empire,
and at last succumbed to the Nawab of Dera Ismail Khan.
