This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

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.

Karmgarh

A nisamat or administrative district of the Patiala State, Punjab, lying between 29 degree 23' and 30° 27' N. and 75 degree 40' and 76 degree 36' E., with an area of 1,834 square miles. It had a population in 1901 of 500,635, compared with 500,225 in 1891, dwelling in four towns— Patiala, Samana, Sunam, and Sanaur — and 665 villages. The head-quarters are at Bhawanigarh or Dhodan, a village in the Bhawanigarh tahsil. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to 9-5 lakhs. The nizdmat consists of a fairly compact area in the south-east of the main portion of the State, and is divided into four tahslls — Patiala, Bhawanigarh, Sunam, and Narwana — of which the first three lie in that order from east to west, partly in the Pawadh and partly in the Jangal tract, on the north of the Ghaggar river, while the fourth tahsil, Narwana, lies on its south bank in the Bangar.
