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 Taluka

South-western taluka of Sholapur District, Bombay, lying between 17 8' and 17 40' N. and 74 54' and 75 27' E., with an area of 654 square miles. It contains one town, SANGOLA (population, 4,763), the head-quarters; and 75 villages. The population in 1901 was 82,634, compared with 78,420 in 1891, The density, 127 persons per square mile, is much below the Dis- trict average. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was i-i lakhs, and for cesses Rs. 8,000. Sangola is a level plain, with a few treeless hillocks fringing its southern border. It is mostly bare of trees. Villages are three or four miles apart. The chief river is the Man, which drains the taluka from west to north-east for about 35 miles. Most of the soil is stony and barren, and much of it fit only for grazing. The climate is hot.
