History

John Beames identified Kānjkol with the "Kánakjok" of the Ain-i Akbari , which is listed as a mahal in sarkar Tanda. [2] : 96  This mahal was listed with an assessed revenue of 1,589,332 dams. [3] : 130  According to Irfan Habib, the mahal of Kānkjol must have covered a "very large" area. [4] : 42  Its area was increased even further under the Nawabs of Bengal in the 1700s, when several pargana s (including Rajmahal) were merged into its territory. As a result, the pargana of Kānkjol came to occupy a vast territory stretching downstream from Purnia along both sides of the Ganges. [2] : 96
