''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. ''

=Peddapuram Taluk=

Inland taluk in Godavari District, Madras,
lying between 16 57' and 17 39' N. and 81 55' and 82 20' E., with
an area of 504 square miles. The population in 1901 was 167,020,
compared with 161,841 in 1891. It contains one town, PEDDAPURAM
(population, 12,609), the head-quarters; and 200 villages, of which
Jaggammapeta is an important local market. The demand on account
of land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to Rs. 3,89,000. The
taluk has a good system of irrigation from reservoirs, and the Lingam-
parti tank, the largest in the District, irrigates 5,000 acres. Along the
Yeleru, a perennial stream running through it, is some exceptionally
fertile soil. The greater part of the taluk however, is covered with
hills and jungle. The chief crops are rice, oilseeds, ragi, pulses, and
(in the Yeleru valley) sugar-cane.
