SumbhulPostal Covers & Pre-1854 Postal History
Sambhal (the Sumbhul of early records) is a city in the Rohilkhand plain of Uttar Pradesh, an ancient town of many mosques and temples with a long history reaching back to the Sultanate. It was a market and route town east of the Ganges. Within the North-Western Provinces it served as a post town, and its pre-1854 markings record the mail of the Rohilkhand country.
