Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
NAINI TAL , a town and
district
  of British India, in the Kumaon division of the United Provinces. The town is 6400 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (19or) 7609. Naini Tal is a popular sanatorium for the residents in the plains, and the summer head-quarters of the government of the province. It is situated on a lake, surrounded by high mountains, and is subject to landslides; a serious
catastrophe
  of this kind occurred in September 1880. The approach from the plains is by the Rohilkhand and Kumaon railway from Bareilly, which has its terminus at Kathgodam, 22 M. distant by cart road. There are several European schools, besides
barracks
  and convalescent depot for European soldiers.
The
DISTRICT
  OF NAINI TAL comprises the
lower
  hills of Kumaon and the adjoining Tarai or submontane strip. Area, 2677 sq. m. Pop. (19or) 311,237i showing a decrease of 15.4% in the decade. The district includes the Gagar and other foothills of the Himalayas, which reach an extreme height of nearly 9000 ft. The Bhabar
tract
  at their base consists of boulders from the mountains, among which the hill streams are swallowed up. Forests cover vast tracts of the hill-country and the Bhabar. Beyond this is the Tarai, moist and extremely unhealthy. Here the
principal
  crops are
rice
  and wheat. In the hills a small amount of tea is grown, and a considerable quantity of fruit. The only railway is the line to Kathgodam.
See Naini Tal District Gazetteer (
Allahabad
 , 1904).
