'''Etawah''' is a [[ceety]] on the banks o [[Yamuna]] River in the state o [[Uttar Pradesh]] in [[Indie]]. It is the admeenistrative heidquairters o [[Etawah destrict]]. The [[ceety]] wis a important centre for the [[Indie Rebellion o 1857]] ([[Allan Octavian Hume]], the foonder o [[Indie Naitional Congress]] wis destrict collector then). An aw is the place o sangam or [[Confluence (geografie)|confluence]] atween [[Yamuna]] an [[Chambal River|Chambal]]. It is the steid o the remains o the [[:en:Inland Customs Line|Great Hedge o Indie]] an aw. Population o Etawah in 2001 census wis 211,460.

==Geografie==
Etawah wis a toun an destrict o [[Breetish Raj|Breetish Indie]], in the [[Agra]] diveesion o the Unitit Provinces. The toun is situatit on the left bank o the [[Yamuna]], an haes a station on the [[Indian Railways]] (North Central Zone), 386&nbsp;km frae [[Allahabad]]. Deep fissurs intersect the various quairters o the toun, ower which broad roads connect the heicher portions bi brigs an embankments. Considerable tred is carriet on bi rail, Naitional Heich-gate 2 (Four lane heich-gate, connectin Delhi tae Kolkata, pairt o Golden Quadrilateral, which wis earlier Grand Trunk Road) an river.

The destrict o Etawah lees in the wastren portion o Uttar Pradesh 26° 47" north latitude an 72° 20" east langitude. In shape it is a parallelogram wi a lenth frae north tae sooth 70&nbsp;km. an east tae wast 66&nbsp;km. on ane side an 24&nbsp;km. on the ither side. It is  boondit on the north bi the destricts o [[Firozabad]] an [[Mainpuri]], while the smaw extent o wastren mairch adjoins tahsil Bah o the [[Agra destrict]]. The eastren frontier mairches wi the destrict o [[Auraiya]], an alang the sooth lee [[Jalaun]] an the destrict o [[Bhind]], the diveesion line bein, except for a short distance, the [[Chambal River|Chambal]] an Yamuna rivers. The tot aurie in 1999 is calculatit tae be 2434&nbsp;km.

The destrict exhibits a strikin variety o surface an scenery. The greater portion lees athin the Doab or level alluvial plain atween the [[Ganges]] an the [[Yamuna]]. This pairt faws naturally intae twa sections, dividit bi the deep an fissured glen the [[Sengar River|river Sengar]].

The tract tae the north-east o that stream is rich an growthie, bein wattered bi the branches o the Ganges canal, an ither important wirks. The sooth-wastren region haes the same naitural avantages, but possesses nae great irrigation seestem, an is consequently less fruitfu than the opposite slopes. Near the banks o the Yamuna, the plain descends intae the river glen bi a series o wild ravines an terraces, inhabitit anerly bi a scattered race o hereditar herdsmen. Ayont the Jamuna, a strip o laund extends alang the tangled gorges o the Chambal an the Kuari Nadi, far intae the borders o the Gwalior state. This ootlyin tract embraces a series o rocky glens an muntain torrents, crouned bi the ruins o native stranghaulds, an interspersed wi nairae ledges o cultivable alluvium. The climate, ance het an sultry, haes nou acome comparatively moist an equable unner the influence o irrigation an the plantin o trees.
