History


The district was established under British rule in 1818 and, on establishment, constituted the then tehsils of Meerut, Ghaziabad, Mawana, Baghpat, Sardhana and Hapur.[6][7] These now constitute the districts of Meerut, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Bagpat, Muzaffarnagar, Bulandshahr and a part of Gautam Buddh Nagar district.[6]



Geography


Meerut district lies between 28°57’ to 29°02’ North latitude and 77°40’ to 77°45’ East longitude in the Indo-Gangetic plains of India.[8] It is bound on the north by Muzaffarnagar district, in the south by Bulandshahar district while Ghaziabad and Baghpat districts form the southern and western limits.[9] The river Ganges forms the eastern boundary and separates the district from Moradabad district and Bijnor district.[9] The Hindon forms the western boundary and separates the district from Baghpat.[9] The ground is not rocky and there are no mountains. The soil is composed of pleistocene and sub-recent alluvial sediments transported and deposited by river action from the Himalayan region.[8] These alluvial deposits are unconsolidated.[8] Lithologically, sediments consist of clay, silt and fine to coarse sand.[8] Land is very fertile for growing crops, especially wheat, sugarcane and vegetables.[8]



Administration


The administrative head of district of Meerut is a District Magisrtate[4] while the administrative head of Meerut Division is Divisional Commissioner, an IAS officer.[5]
