''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. ''
=Thanesar Tahsil, 1908=

==Thaneswar==

Northern tahsil of Karnal Dis-
trict, Punjab, lying between 29" 55' and 30° 15' N. and 76° 36' and
77'' 17' E., on the west bank of the Jumna, with an area of 599 square
miles. The population in 1901 was 173,208, compared with 177,442
in 1 891. It contains the towns of Thanesar (population, 5,066), the
head-quarters, Ladwa (3,518), and Shahabad (11,009); and 418
villages. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to
2.8 lakhs. Thanesar practically coincides with the old Pipli tahsll oi
Ambala District, from which it was transferred in 1897. On the east
it has a narrow frontage along the Jumna. The fertile riverain low-
lands average about 6 miles in width. The western boundary of this
tract is the old bank of the Jumna, and from the crest of this bank the
country slopes away westwards. The uplands are intersected by several
torrent beds, and the soil, especially to the south, is for the most part
stiiif and infertile. Dhak jungle abounds. The Markanda country
on the north-west has the advantages of a lighter soil and fertilizing
floods.
