HASANPUR, Tahsil MAT
This is a large village situated in 27°50'N. and 77°47'E., near the boundary of the Aligarh district, sixteen miles from Mat, seven miles due east of Nohjhil and twenty-two miles from the city of Muttra. The village was founded in the seventeenth century by a Jat of Barauth, named Hansa. There is still a gateway in it called Chaukhat Hansa, and an old khera or deserted site bears the name Mahona. In 1901 Hasanpur had a population of 2,240 souls, 1,837 being Hindus, 135 Muhammadans and 268 of other religions, for the most part Aryas. The number of the inhabitants has increased from 1,910 in 1881. The total area of the village is 2,232 acres and it is assessed to a revenue demand of Re. 4,655, the zamindars being Jats. Hasanpur Contains both a boys' and a girls' school.
HATANA, Tahsil CHHATA
Hatana lies in 27°52'N. and 77°26'E., in the extreme north of the district near the Gurgaon border. The metalled road to Dehli and the Agra-Dehli Chord railway run about two and a half miler to the west of the village, and about a mile and a half to the east flows the Agra canal. The village has an area of 3,418 acres, assessed to a revenue demand of Rs. 5,237, the zamindars being a large community of Jats of the Sorot subdivision. The population increased from 2,117 in 1881 to 2,718 in 1901: of the latter 2,640 were Hindus and 78 were Muhammadans. Beyond the canal near Sessai lies the dahar or depression of Nandban, 365 bighas in extent. The latter is considered a hamlet of Hatana, but is really an offshoot of Sessai in Gurgaon. Here a temple of some size and very considerable local celebrity, dedicated to Lakshmi Narain, stands on the margin of an extensive lake faced on the temple side with masonry ghats. This is known as the Kshir Sagar or "Milky Sea."
