Reorganisation of Allahabad district
In 2000, when the UP state was reorganised by forming Uttaranchal out of its northern areas, Allahabad division and the district was majorly reorganised too.
The Etawah, Farrukhabad and Kanpur district districts of the Allahabad division were made into a separate Kanpur division.
Parts of the western areas of Allahabad district were carved out to create a tiny new district named Kaushambi.

- Fatehpur District
- Pratapgarh District
| Raibareli | Pratapgarh | Jaunpur | ||
| Kaushambi | Bhadohi | |||

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
