This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

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.

Suar

North-western tahsil in the State of Rampur, United Pro- vinces, lying between 28° 53' and 29° 10' N. and 78° 55' and 79° 14' E., with an area of 191 square miles. Population (1901), 104,667. There are 255 villages and two towns: Tanda (population, 7,983) and Suar (2,738), the tahsll head-quarters. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 3,81,000, and for cesses Rs. 46,000. The density of population, 548 persons per square mile, is below the State average. A large portion of the tahsll lies in the tarai or moist submontane area. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 114 square miles, of which 14 were irrigated, chiefly by small canals drawn from the numerous streams which cross the tahsil.
