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.

Kashipur Tahsil

South-western tahsil and subdivision of Nairn Tal District, United Provinces, conterminous with the pargana of the same name, lying between 29 degree 7' and 29 degree 22' N. and 78 degree 43' and 79° 4' E., with an area of 189 square miles. Population fell from 73,168 in 1891 to 55,632 in 1901, the rate of decrease being the highest in the District. There are 147 villages and two towns : Kashipur (popula- tion, 1 2,023), tri e tahsil head-quarters, and Jaspur (6,480). The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 90,000, and for cesses Rs. 11,000. The density of population, 294 persons per square mile, is also the highest in the District. The tahsil resembles the adjoining parts of Rohilkhand. It lies entirely in the plains, and is not so damp as the Tarai. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 69 square miles, of which 10 were irrigated, almost entirely from canals.
