JALGAON
Jalgaon, with 2,140 inhabitants in 1961, is a village in Arvi tahsil lying six miles to its north-west and standing on a small stream called the Bakli. The name Jalgaon means ' the village of water' and is due to the number of wells which the village contains. A small dyeing industry used to be carried on here but it is almost extinct now. Jalgaon has several betel gardens and some fine mango groves besides other fruit trees. On Tuesdays is held the weekly market. The village has a middle school, a post and a medical practitioner. There is also a grampanchayat.
