HANTHAWADDY

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 932 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HANTHAWADDY , a
district
  in the
Pegu
  division of Lower Burma, the
home
 
district
  of
Rangoon
 , from which the town was detached to make a
separate
  district in 1880. It has an area of 3023 sq. m., with a population in 1901 of 484i81r, showing an increase of 22% in the decade. Hanthawaddy and
Henzada
  are the two most densely populated districts in the province. It consists of a vast plain stretching up from the sea between the To or China Bakir mouth of the
Irrawaddy
  and the
Pegu
  Yomas. Except the
tract
  lying between the Pegu Yomas on the
east
  and the Hlaing river, the country is intersected by numerous tidal creeks, many navigable by large boats and some by steamers. The headquarters of the district are in
Rangoon
 , which is also the sub-divisional headquarters. The second sub-division has its headquarters at Insein, where there are large railway works. Cultivation is almost wholly confined to
rice
 , but there are many vegetable and fruit gardens.
