=Kora, 1908=

Ancient town in the Khajuha tahsil of Fatehpur District,
United Provinces, situated in 26 degree 7' N. and 8o° 22' E., on the old
Mughal road from Agra to Allahabad, 29 miles west of Fatehpur town.
Population (1901), 2,806. The town was for centuries held by the
Gautam Rajas of Argal, and became the head-quarters of a province
under the Muhammadans. In Akbar's time it was the capital of
a sarkar in the Subah of Allahabad. It still contains many old and
substantial houses, but most of them are ruinous and desolate in
appearance. A massive and handsome baradarl in a large garden
surrounded by high walls and a magnificent tank are the chief relics
of native rule, and these were constructed late in the eighteenth
century. Separated from Kora by the Mughal road stands another
town, called Jahanabad, which is more flourishing and contains 4,379
inhabitants, jahanabad is administered under Act XX of 1856, with
an income of about Rs. 900. A school in Jahanabad has no pupils,
and a smaller school in Kora 23.

''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. ''
