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.

Hubli Taluka

Central taluka of Dharwar District, Bombay, lying between 15° 10' and 15° 30' N. and 75° 2' and 75° 27' E., with an area of 311 square miles. It contains one town, Hubli (population, 60,214), the head-quarters; and 74 villages. The population in 1901 was 124,258, compared with 118,182 in 1891. Hubli is the most thickly populated taluka in the District, with a density of 399 persons per square mile. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was 2-6 lakhs, and for cesses Rs. 18,000. The watershed of Southern India runs through the tahika. Two small ranges of hills, Doddagudd and Buradsinghi, break the level of the plain. Between Behatti and Hebsur lies a small tract which is said not to receive a good rainfall oftener than once in four years, and yet to repay the husbandman. The annual rainfall averages 29 inches.
