FAKHRPTJR* Pargoma Fakhepur Tahdl

TLvRiBk-R—District, BahEAiCH. Fakhrpur, a town in district Bahraich (latitude 27° 25' 55" north, longitude 81° 31' 41" east), lies on the high road from Bahramghat to Bahraich, ten and a half miles from Bahraich and seven from Kur&ar. Surrounded with groves of very fine mango trees, its outskirts present a park-like appearance, and offer several tempting camping grounds. The place, however, is not healthy, the water being bad, and goitre, perhaps a consequence of the water, being very prevalent. In former times the place is said to have been held by Ahirs, and in the time of Akbar was called Pakrpur from a large Pakaria tree which still flourishes at the side of the road into Bahraich. In 965 Hijri, however, Akbar made it the head-quarters of a pargana, tinder the name that it now bears ; established a tahsil, and built a fort. Up to 1226 Fasli the tahsildar had his fort and treasury here but the chakladar in 1226 Fasli incorporated the larger portion of the pargana in the Baundi ilaqa, from which time the fort ceased to be used. The village has been held now for many years by the qSntingos of the pargana. The population comprises 2,14*0 souls, of whom 904 are Muhammadans. There are 409 mud-houses, two brick-built shiwalas, a thdkurdwara, a school, and a mud sarae. The Government village school has 46 boys. No markets are held, and there are no manufactures. Saltpetre is prepared, but not to any great extent.
