KOREGAON
Koreganv (Koreganv T; 17° 40 74° 10' E; RS.; p. 7,230) is the
headquarters of the Koreganv taluka. The village has a large street passing east and west and another passing north and south. The Pandharpur road runs east on the north side of the town and Deur road from the other side of the stream on the west. At the same point, joins the Satara road, which crosses the Vasna by a good stone bridge about three-quarters of a mile south. The Rahimatpur road runs round the east of the town. Koreganv lies on a stream known as the Tilganga which holds water throughout the year and forms the water-supply of the town. Its banks are well studded with mango and other trees. There is a good Government, rest-house on the north of the Indapur road. A camp is formed in the mangrove to the south of the town, but a much better one is an excellent grove on the left bank of the Tilganga about a mile up the stream and north of Koreganv within the boundaries of the fertile village of Kumthe.
The town has no tap system but depends for its water-supply on the river and wells. Jowar, ground-nuts and potatoes form the main crops in the vicinity of the town. A bridge over the Tilganga is constructed at Koreganv on the Satara-Pandharpur road. Under the community development scheme a chavadi building and a well were built. Public contributions amounted to one-half of the expenditure. The town has a number of public buildings e.g., revenue and police offices, village panchayat office, a civil judge's court, a high-school, a market yard and a State Transport Depot.
