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.

Huzur Tahsil

Head-quarters tahsil of the Rampur State, United Provinces, lying between 28° 30' and 28° 59' N. and 78° 55' and 79° 11' E., with an area of 176 square miles. Population (1901), 178,333. There are 244 villages and one town, Rampur City (popu- lation, 78,758), the State capital and tahsil head-quarters. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 4,85,000, and for cesses Rs. 58,000. The high density of population, 1,013 persons per square mile, is due to the inclusion of the city. This tahsil lies in the centre of the State and is very fertile. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 131 square miles, of which 8 were irrigated, chiefly from canals.
