In 1881, the population of Berar was 2,672,673.[citation needed] The total area of the territory was 29,340 square kilometres (11,330 sq mi).
After 1 October 1903, the administration of the province was placed under the Commissioner-General for the Central Provinces, as the Berar Division. In 1936, the territory was renamed as the Central Provinces and Berar, and its legislative assembly was established.
