region known as Rasika in ancient times, and after the region came under the rule of the

subsequently the Marathas ruled the region. In 1906 when Khandesh was divided, east
Khandesh became present-day Jalgaon. In 1956 with the reorganization of states, it was
included in Bombay state, and with the formation of Maharashtra in 1960, Jalgaon became
a district of the state.
