''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.

=Rajanpur Town=

Head-quarters of the Rajanpur subdivision and
tahsil of Dera Ghazi Khan District, Punjab, situated in 29 6' N. and
70 19' E., about 9 miles from the west bank of the Indus, on the road
from Bannu to Jacobabad. Population (1901), 3,917. It was founded
in 1732-3 by Makhdum Shaikh Rajan, who ousted the original Nahar
possessors, and made himself master of their estates. Rajanpur was
an unimportant village until 1862, when the town of Mithankot was
washed away by the Indus, and the head-quarteis of the Assistant
Commissioner were transferred thence. It does a considerable trade
in gram and cotton with Sukkur, and in opium and indigo with
Amntsar and Multan. The municipality was created in 1873. The
income during the ten years ending 1902-3 averaged Rs, 5,400, and
the expenditure Rs 5,700. In 1903-4 the income was Rs. 6,100,
chiefly from octroi , and the expenditure was Rs. 5,000. Rajanpur
has an Anglo-vernacular middle school, maintained by the District
board, and a dispensary.
