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.

Jalgaon Taluk

Taluk of Buldana District, Berar, lying between 20 degree 65' and 21degree 13' N. and 76 23' and 76 48' E., with an area of 410 square miles. The population fell from 97,798 in 1891 to 87,192 in 1 90 1, the density in the latter year being 212 persons per square mile. The taluk contains 155 villages and one town, Jalgaon (popu- lation, 8,487), the head-quarters. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 3,54,000, and for cesses Rs. 28,000. Jalgaon, which is the smallest taluk in Berar in respect of area and, except the Mel- ghat, of population also, lies entirely in the fertile valley of the Purna, which bounds it on the south. On the north it is bounded by the low hills of the western portion of the Gawilgarh range. Until August, 1905, when it was transferred to Buldana, the taluk formed part of Akola District.
