HENZADA

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 304 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HENZADA , a
district
  of Lower Burma, formerly in the
Pegu
 , but now in the Irrawaddy division. Area, 2870 sq. m. Pop. (1901) 484,558. It stretches from north to
south
  in one vast plain, forming the valley of the Irrawaddy, and is divided by that river into two nearly equal portions. This country is protected from inundation by immense embankments, so that almost the whole area is suitable for
rice
  cultivation. The
chief
  mountains are the Arakan and
Pegu
  Yoma ranges. The greatest
elevation
  of the Arakan Yomas in Henzada, attained in the
latitude
  of Myan-aung, is 4003 ft. above sea-level. Numerous torrents pour down from the two boundary ranges, and unite in the plains to form large streams, which fall into the
chief
  streams of the
district
 , which are the Irrawaddy, Hlaing and Bassein, all of them branches of the Irrawaddy. The forests comprise almost every variety of timber found in Burma. The bulk of the cultivation is
rice
 , but a number of acres are under tobacco. The chief town of the district is HENZADA, which had in 1901 a population of 24,756. It is a municipal town, with ten elective and three ex-officio members. Other municipal towns in the district are Zalun, with a population of 6642; Myan-aung, with a population of 6351; and Kyangin, with a population of 7183, according to the 190r census. The town of Lemyethna had a population of 5831. The steamers of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company
call
  at Henzada and Myan-aung.
The district was once a portion of the
Talaing
  kingdom of Pegu, afterwards annexed to the Burmese empire in 1753; and has no history of its own. During the second Burmese war, after Prome had been seized, the Burmese on the right bank of the Irrawaddy crossed the river and offered resistance to the British, but were completely routed. Meanwhile, in Tharawaddy, or the country
east
  of the Irrawaddy, and in the
south
  of Henzada, much disorder was caused by a revolt, the leaders of which were, however, defeated by the British and their gangs dispersed.
