NIMSOD
Nimsod (Khatav T; 17° 25' N, 74° 25' E; RS. Rahimatpur 26 m.
NW; p. 2, 830) in Khatav, about ten miles south of Vaduj, is mentioned in a revenue statement of about 1790 as the head-quarters of a paragana in the Raybag sarkar with a revenue of Rs. 26,2502 [Waring's Marathas, 244.]. In 1827 Captain Clunes noticed it as a market town or
kasba with 225 houses, fifteen shops, a watercourse and wells [Itinerary, 62.]. Nimsod has now lost its importance as a trade centre and is no longer the headquarters. There are about seven to eight shops in the village and about 400 dwellings.
