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.

Sangola Town

Head-quarters of the taluka of the same name in Sholapur District, Bombay, situated in 17 26' N. and 75i2 / E., 19 miles south-west of Pandharpur. Population (1901), 4,763. The fort, which is now occupied by the tdhika offices, is said to have been built by a Bijapur king ; and so prosperous was the town which grew up round it that, until it was plundered by Holkar's Pathans in 1802, it was locally called the Golden Sangola. The municipality, estab- lished in 1855, had an average income during the decade ending 1901 of Rs. 5,500. In 1903-4 the income was Rs. 6,400. The town con- tains a Subordinate Judge's court, a school, and a dispensary.
