which at that time included the Central Provinces (separated in 1861) and Ajmer-Merwara (separated in 1871). Annexation of
Oudh (Awadh) in 1858. Now officially named the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, the name
"Northwestern Provinces" continued to be used. Upon independence of India in 1947, U.P.
