Sidlaghatta Taluk

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.

Central taluk of Kolar District, Mysore, lying between 13 13' and 13 41' N. and 77 48' and 78 8' E., with an area of 329 square miles. The population in 1901 was 70,022, compared with 58,977 in 1891. The taluk contains one town, SID- LAGHATTA (population, 7,638) the head-quarters; and 353 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was Rs. 1,44,000. The Pa- paghni river crosses the taluk to the north-east. The Ponnaiyar drains the south-west angle, forming some large tanks. The north-west is hilly and rugged, and the soil poor and stony ; but black soil occurs near the river. South of Sidlaghatta the soil is good, and potatoes are grown.
