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.

Kulachi Tahsil

Western Tahsil of Dera Ismail Khan District, North-West Frontier Province, consisting of the country immediately below the Sulaiman mountains, between 31° 15' and 32° 17' N. and 70° 11 and 70° 42' E., with an area of 1,509 square miles. In appear- ance the tract bears a generic resemblance to the Dera Ismail Khan Tahsil, except for the stony plain and the line of barren and unsightly hills which form its western border. The plain is much cleft by deep channels which carry off the rain-water from the hills, and these are utilized for irrigation with great skill. The population in 1901 was 55,053, compared with 52,270 in 1891. The head-quarters are at Kulachi (population, 9,125), and the tahsil also contains 81 villages. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs. 96,000.
