Ancient and now defunct Hathi Wada in Pal village

Pal was abandoned at the beginning of the eighteenth century. When British rule began in Khandesh in 1817, they found Pal village desolate and infested with wild animals. Subhedar Nimbalkar of Yawal made an offer to British to re-populate the village in return of money, but Captain Briggs refused the offer. Since 1820, many attempts were made to re-populate the Pal village. In 1869–70, C. S. James encouraged some farmers to settle in Pal village and the village was re-settled. In 1880, population of Pal village was 600. Historical records mention existence of fort, Mosque and Hathi (elephant) wada in the Pal village. [1]
