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.

Ramgarh

Old District of Bengal, stretching on the north-west as far as Sherghati m Gaya and including on the east the Chakai pargana of Monghyr and the zamindari raj of Panchet, and on the south-west and south the present District of Palamau, while Ranch! owed a loose allegiance as a tributary estate administered by its own chief. This unwieldy District was broken up after the Kol insurrection in 1831-2, parts of it going to Gaya, Monghyr, Manbhum, and Lohni- daga (now Ranch!), while the rest was formed into the modern District of Hazaribagh.
