Dhule district, Administrative district in Maharashtra, India.
The district encompasses four tehsils including Dhule, Shirpur, Sindkheda, and Sakri, with Dhule city serving as the administrative headquarters.
The region transformed from a small village into a significant administrative center during the British Raj, becoming the headquarters of Khandesh District in 1819.
The population communicates in Ahirani dialect in rural areas and standard Marathi in urban zones, reflecting the linguistic diversity of Maharashtra.
Cotton cultivation represents the primary commercial activity, while the district depends heavily on monsoon rainfall due to limited irrigation infrastructure.
The district contains Asia's largest wind mill project and participates in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project for manufacturing development.
