Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
SULTANPUR , a town and
district
  of British India, in the Fyzabad division of the United Provinces. The town is on the right bank of the river Gurnti, midway between Benares' and Lucknow, on the Oudh & Rohilkhand railway. Pop. (1901), 9550.
The
DISTRICT
  OF SULTANPUR has an area of 1713 sq. m. The surface is generally level, being broken only by ravines in the neighbourhood of the rivers. The central portion is highly cultivated, while in the
south
  are widespread and plains and swampy jhils or marshes. The
principal
  river is the Gumti, which passes through the centre of the district and affords a valuable highway for commerce.
Minor
  streams are the Kandu, Pili, Tengha and Nandhia, the last two being of some importance, as their channels form the outlet for the superfluous water of the jhils, draining into the Sai. There' are no forests in the district, only stunted digit jungles used for'
fuel
 . In x901 the population was 1,083,904, showing an increase of 'less than' 1% in the decade. Sultanpur is a purely agricultural district with a very dense population. The
principal
  crops are
rice
 , pulses, wheat, barley,
sugar
 -cane and a little poppy. The main line of the Oudh & Rohilkhand railway from Lucknow to Rae Bareli and Mogul Serai serves the
south
 -western portion.
The only incident worthy of note in the history of the district since the British annexation of Oudh is the revolt of the native troops stationed at Sultanpur during the Mutiny. The troops rose in rebellion on the 9th of June 1857, and, after murderingtwo of their officers, sacked the station. Upon the restoration of order Sultanpur cantonment was strengthened by a detachment of British troops; but in 1861 it was entirely abandoned as a military station.
See Sultanpur District Gazetteer (
Allahabad
 , 1903).
