''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. ''
=Bowringpet=
South-eastern taluk of Kolar District, Mysore, lying
between 12° 46' and 13° 5' N. and 78° 6' and 78° 29' E., with an area
of 337 square miles. The population in 1901 was 128,193, compared
with 71,042 in 1891. The tdluk contains two towns, Kolar Gold
Fields (population 38,204), and Bowringpet (2,893), the head-quarters ;
and 409 villages. The land revenue demand in 1903-4 was Rs. 1,38,000.
The Palar river runs through the east, forming the large Betmangala
and Ramasagara tanks. The west is crossed from north to south by
the low flat hills of the Kolar auriferous band, west of which is a stream
running south to the Ponnaiyar. The southern border abuts upon the
Eastern Ghats, and is rugged and jungly. The entire aspect of the
region has been changed, especially since 1885, by the success of
the gold-mines, and what was a desolate waste has become a great
industrial centre.
