Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHULNA , a town and
district
  of British India, in the
Presidency
  division of Bengal. The town stands on the river Bhairab, and is the terminus of the Bengal Central railway, 109 M. E. of Calcutta. Pop. (1901), 10,426. It is the most important centre of river-borne
trade
  in the
delta
 .
The
DISTRICT
  of KHULNA lies in the middle of the
delta
  of the Ganges, including a portion of the Sundarbans or seaward fringe of swamps. It was formed out of
Jessore
  in 1882. Area (excluding the Sundarbans), 2077 sq. m. Besides the Sundarbans, the north-
east
  part of the district is swampy; the north-west is more elevated and drier, while the central part, though low-lying, is cultivated. The whole is alluvial. In 1901 the population was 1,253,043, showing an increase of 6% in the decade.
Rice
  is the
principal
  crop; mustard, jute and tobacco are also grown, and the fisheries are important.
Sugar
  is manufactured from the date palm. The district is entered by the Bengal Central railway, but by far the greater part of the
traffic
  is carried by water.
See District Gazetteer (Calcutta, 1908).
