==History==
Historically, Sironcha was a key location for the [[East India Company]] from [[Nizam]] perspective,{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}} it was the Southern tehsil of Chanda District, [[Central Provinces]]. In 1901, Sironcha [[tehsil]] area was {{convert|1085|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, and its population was 51,148. The transfer of the taluks of Nugur, Albaka, and Cherla of the Sironcha tehsil, covering an area of {{convert|593|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} and containing 142 villages with 20,218 persons, to the Madras Presidency had been sanctioned, but further details of administration were being considered. In 1905, an area of {{convert|2603|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} of the Chanda tahsil, of which 2,600 were in the Ahiri zamindari estate, was transferred to Sironcha. By 1908, the revised totals of area and population of the Sironcha tahsil were {{convert|3095|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} and 55,465 persons. The population in 1891 of the area constituting the tahsil in 1908 was 51,732. The density was {{convert|18|PD/sqmi|PD/km2|order=flip}}, and the tahsil contained 421 inhabited villages.<ref name=":0" />

In 1908, Sironcha's headquarters were at Sironcha, the namesake village of 2,813 inhabitants, {{convert|130|mi|km|order=flip}} from Chanda town by road. The area of government forest in the new tahsil was {{convert|480|sqmi|km2|order=flip}}, while {{convert|2254|sqmi|km2|order=flip}} of the Ahiri zamindari were covered by tree forest, scrub jungle, or grass. The northern portion of the tehsil comprised in the Ahiri zamindari was one of the most densely wooded and sparsely populated areas in the province; to the south of this, Sironcha extended in a long narrow strip to the east of the [[Godavari River|Godavari]], and consisted of a belt of rich alluvial soil along the banks of the river and its affluents, with forests and hills in the background. The population is wholly [[Telugu people|Telugu]]. The land revenue demand of the tahsil was approximately {{Currency|17000|INR}}, before the revision of settlement in progress in 1908.<ref name=":0">{{cite book| title=The Imperial gazetteer of India|url=https://archive.org/stream/imperialgazettee23greauoft/imperialgazettee23greauoft_djvu.txt|at=38|volume=XXIII |year=1908|publisher=Oxford at the Clarendon Tress}}</ref>
