🇮🇳 Sheohar district

The area of present-day Sheohar has historical connections with the wider Mehsi Pargana region. Historical records of Champaran describe Mehsi and Babra as parganas associated with the Sheohar Raj during the late 18th century. The two parganas were included in the 1791 Decennial Settlement and the arrangement was subsequently confirmed under the Permanent Settlement in 1793. These historical administrative and zamindari relationships predate the creation of the present-day Sheohar district in 1994 and illustrate the historical links between Mehsi and the surrounding territory of northern Bihar.
