=Athni Town=

Head-quarters of the taluka of the same name in
Belgaum District, Bombay, situated in 16 44' N. and 75 4' E. Popu-
lation (1901), 11,107. The municipality, established in 1853, had an
income averaging Rs. 16,600 during the decade ending 1901. In 1903-4
the income was Rs. 16,600. Athni is a place of importance as a local
centre of trade. Its wheelwrights are known as excellent workmen ;
and it has manufactures of coarse cotton cloth, blankets, and salt-
petre, as well as factories for pressing and cleaning cotton. It is the
chief rural market in the District, sending cotton and grain westwards
to Miraj (24 miles), and receiving from the sea-coast through Miraj rice,
coco-nuts, and dried fish. The French traveller Mandelslo in 1639
noticed ' Atteny city ' as one of the chief markets between Bijapur and
Goa. About 1670 the English geographer Ogilby mentioned 'Attany'
as a great trading town. In 1679 this mart was taken from Sivaji by
the Mughal Dilawar Khan, who sacked it. Dilawar Khan wished to
sell the people as slaves. Sambhajl, the son of SivajT, who some time
before had rebelled against his father and joined Dilawar Khan, opposed
the suggestion, and, on Dilawar Khan ignoring his remonstrances, left
the camp and became reconciled with his father. About 1720 Athni
was seized by the Nizam, who made it over to the chief of Kolhapur, by
whom it was given to Raja Sahu of Satara in 1730. Athni lapsed to
the British Government in 1839, on the death of the Nipani chief. The
town contains a Subordinate Judge's court, a dispensary, a municipal
middle school, and four other schools, one of which is for girls.
