Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Jamner Town

Head-quarters of the taluka of the same name in East Khandesh District, Bombay, situated in 20 degree49' N. and 75 degree47' E., on the small river Kag, 60 miles east-by-south of Dhulia. Population (1901), 6,457. Jamner was a place of consequence in the times of the Peshwas. Its prosperity has recently shown signs of revival, owing to its rising cotton trade and ginning industry. The town has three cotton-ginning and pressing factories, a dispensary, and two schools, attended by nearly 200 boys.
