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.

Jasol

Head-quarters of a jagir estate of the same name in the Mallani district of the State of Jodhpur, Rajputana, situated in 25 degree 49' N. and 7 2 degree 13' E., on the left bank of the Luni river, 2 miles from Balotra station on the Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway. Population (1901), 2,543. The village, which is built partly on the slope of a hill, possesses a post office, a vernacular school, and a small hospital. The estate consists of 72 villages, and is held by a Thfikur on payment of a tribute of Rs. 2,100 to the Jodhpur Darbar. About 5 miles to the north-west are the ruins of Kher, the old capital of MallSni, while to the south- west are the remains of another important town, Nagar. As these places decayed, Jasol rose, and now contains the descendants of some of the earliest Rathor settlers.
