''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts.Many units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Baghpat Town=

Head-quarters of the tahsil of the same name
in Meerut District, United Provinces, situated in 28 57' N. and
77 13' E., near the Jumna, 30 miles west of Meerut city by a metalled
road. Population (1901), 5,972. Baghpat is identified with the
Vyaghraprastha or 'place of tigers' of the Mahabharata, and its name is
said to have been changed from Bagpat to Baghpat by one of the
Delhi emperors. The town is divided into two portions : the kasba or
agricultural quarter, and the mandl or commercial quarter. Besides
the tahsili, it contains a dispensary, and a branch of the American
Methodist Mission. From 1869 to 1904 the place was administered
as a municipality, with an average income and expenditure of Rs. 6,000,
the chief tax being octroi. It has now been constituted a 'notified
area.' Formerly Baghpat was the chief centre of the sugar trade with
the Punjab, but Meerut and other towns have now taken its place to
a large extent. In 1904 it contained three schools with 137 pupils.
