Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
PABNA, or PUBNA , a town and
district
  of British India, in the
Rajshahi
  division of Eastern Bengal and Assam. The town is situated on the river Ichhamati, near the old bed of the Ganges. Pop. (lgor), 18,424. The
district
  of
Pabna
  has an area of 1839 sq. m. Pop (19o1), 1,420,461, showing an increase of 4.8% in the decade. It is bordered along its entire
east
  face by the main stream of the Brahmaputra or Jamuna, and along its
south
 -westface by the Ganges or Padma. It is entirely of alluvial origin, the silt of the annual inundations overlying strata of clay on sand. Apart from the two
great
  bordering rivers, it is intersected by countless water-channels of varying magnitude, so that during the
rainy
  season every
village
  is accessible by boat and by boat only. Almost the whole area is one green
rice
 -field, ,the uniform level being broken only by clumps of bamboos and fruit-trees, which conceal the
village
  sites. The district is a modern creation of British
rule
 , being first formed out of
Rajshahi
  district in 1832, and possesses no history of its own. The two staple crops are
rice
  and jute. Sirajganj, on the Brahmaputra, is the largest mart for jute in Bengal. The Eastern Bengal railway cuts across the
south
 -west corner of the district to Sara, where a bridge crosses the Ganges. The district was affected by the earthquake of the 12th of June 1897, which was most severely felt at Sirajganj.
