SUHARUNPORE, a town of British India, capital of a district of the same name, in the N.W. provinces, 1007 miles N.W. of Calcutta, on the small river Dumoula, about a mile from the Doab Canal. It stands in an open, level, and fertile region; and is surrounded by numerous groves of palms, mangoes, and other trees, which, as they display indications of care and intelligence not common in India, contribute, along with the many British residences in the environs, to give the place a very pleasant appearance, and to render it one of the handsomest English stations in the country. It has a fort, a military cantonment, and a government depot. Here also is a botanic garden, formed in 1817, and now in a flourishing condition, and very tastefully laid out. Pop. (1848) 37,968. The district, which lies between the Ganges and the Jumna, the former dividing it from Gurhwal and Bignour on the east, and the latter from Serhond on the west, is bounded on the north by Dehra Dhoon, and on the south by Mozuffunnuggur. Its length is about 68 miles, its breadth 60, and its area 2165 square miles. The surface is very uniform, sloping gradually downwards from the Sewalik Hills in the north, and is only broken by ridges of low sand-hills parallel to the Ganges and Jumna. It is drained by small rivers flowing southwards, and falling into one or other of the great ones which bound the district. Owing to the high latitude and the elevation of the country, the climate is cooler than that of most parts of India, and there is a great range of temperature in the course of the year. The land produces wheat, barley, oats, pulse, and other vegetables, rice, cotton, indigo, and maize. Irrigation is carried on by means of the Doab Canal, which derives its water from the Jumna. Suharunpore was ceded to the British in 1803. Pop. 801,325.
