Ceded and Conquered Provinces
The
Ceded and Conquered Provinces
constituted a region in northern
India
that was ruled by the
British East India Company
from 1805 to 1834; it corresponded approximately—in present-day
India
—to all regions in
Uttar Pradesh state
with the exception of the
Lucknow
and
Faizabad
divisions of
Awadh
; in addition, it included the
Delhi territory
and, after 1816, the
Kumaun division
and a large part of the
Garhwal division
of present-day
Uttarakhand
state. In 1836, the region became the
North-Western Provinces
(under a Lieutenant-Governor), and in 1904, the
Agra Province
within the
United Provinces of Agra and Oudh
.
