VADUJ
Vaduj (Khatav T; 17° 35' N, 74° 25' E; RS Koreganv 23 m. NW;
p. 6,838) on the Pusesavli-Singnapur road, thirty-one miles south-east of
Satara, is the headquarters of the Khatav taluka. Besides the sub-divisional
revenue and police offices on the standard Government plan, Vaduj has a post
office and a vernacular school in a good Government building. There are two
high schools at Vaduj. There it little trade and the place does not seem to
have been very important at any time. The Yerla runs close to the south-west
corner of the town, and gives an unfailing supply of good water. About a mile
north-west of the town is a pleasant camp. In a revenue statement of about 1790 Varuja (Vaduj) appears as the head of a pargana in the Raybag sarkar with a revenue of Rs. 37,000. [Warring's Marathas, 244.]
