Faridpur - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07) |
 | | FARIDPUR, or Furreedpore, a town and district of British India, in the Dacca division of eastern Bengal and Assam. |
 | | From the town of Faridpur the ground slopes, until in the south, on the confines of Backergunje, it becomes one immense swamp, never entirely dry. |
 | | The Ganges, or Padma as it is locally called, touches the extreme north-west corner of the district, flows along its northern boundary as far as Goalanda, where it receives the waters of the Jamuna or main stream of the Brahmaputra, and whence the united stream turns southwards and forms the eastern boundary of the district. |
