Jalgaon district

Jalgaon is an administrative district in the Nashik division of Maharashtra state. Multiple rivers including the Tapi, Purna, Aner, and Girna flow through the region, supporting agriculture and providing natural boundaries between different parts of the district.

The district was established in 1906 when British administrators divided Khandesh territory and created East Khandesh in this area. It received its current name of Jalgaon during territorial reorganization that followed India's independence.

Marathi is the primary language spoken by most residents and shapes daily interactions throughout the region. Strong ties to agricultural traditions and family structures define how people organize their social lives and community gatherings.

The district headquarters is based in Jalgaon city, where you can find administrative offices and local services. Getting around is easiest by using regional buses and local transportation, especially when moving between different towns and rural areas.

This region is Maharashtra's leading banana producer, with extensive cultivation supporting farmers across numerous villages. The Bhusawal Thermal Power Station stands as a major industrial facility that has shaped local employment and infrastructure development.
