History of administrative districts in Patna Divisionedit
Patna Division was established in 1829 along with Saran division (with districts of Saran, Champaran, Tirhut, and Shahabad) and Bhagalpur division (with Monghyr (now Munger), Purnea and Maldah districts) of Bihar, as 11th division in Bengal Presidency of British India.[3] On March 1, 1834, the 10th division (or Saran) was abolished and merged into 11th (Patna) and 12th (Monghyr) divisions. Then Patna Division comprised the districts of Patna, Bihar, Saran, and Shahabad.[4]
