=Nakur Town, 1908=

Head-quarters of the tahsil of the same name in
Saharanpur District, United Provinces, situated in 29° 56' N. and
77° 18' E. Population (1901), 5,030, Hindus and Musalmans being
about equally divided. Nakur is said to have been founded by
Nakula, one of the Pandavas, from whom its name is derived. The
town suffered much in the Mutiny and was burnt by a party of Gujars ;
but a relieving force recovered part of the plunder. There is a fine
Jain temple, and also a tahsill school, a dispensary, and a sarai, all
well built. Nakur is administered under Act XX of 1856, and taxa-
tion yields about Rs. 1,100 a year. The site is raised and well
drained. There is very little trade.
