''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. ''

=Hosur Taluk=
Northern taluk of Salem District, Madras, lying
between 12'' 9' and 12° 54' N. and 77° 29' and 78'' 16' E., with an
area of 1,217 square miles. The northern and western portions are on
the high level of the Mysore plateau, and form a bare and uninteresting
tract. In the south and east the country is full of beauty, being a series
of plateaux sustained by lines of forest-clad hills and sinking by rai)id
descents down to the valley of the Cauvery.

The taluk is the most
thinly peopled portion of the District; but at the Census of 1901 it
contained a population of 184,971, compared with 155,768 in 1891,
the increase, at the rate of nearly 19 per cent., being the most rai)id in
the District. Much of the country is covered with jungle, and is the
rearing-ground of the so-called Mysore breed of cattle. The climate
on the table-land is cool and pleasant, resembling that of Bangalore.
The taluk contains one town, Hosur (population, 6,695), the head-
quarters of the subdivision and the taluk. The number of villages
is 750. The demand for land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 was
Rs. 2,49,000.
