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.

Phul Town

Head-quarters of the Phul nizamat of Nabha State, Punjab, situated in 30 20' N. and 75 18' E. Population (1901), 4,964. The town was founded by Chaudhri Phul, the ancestor of the Phulkun houses, who in 1627 left Mahraj and founded a village, to which he gave his own name, 5 miles east of that place. It contains a vernacular middle school, a police station, and a dispensary. Ram- pur, a station on the Rajpura-Bhatinda branch of the North-Western Railway, 3 miles from Phul, possesses a large grain market; and Chotian, a large village 2 miles distant, has an Anglo-vernacular middle school for Sikhs.
