History

On the road linking Mumbai and Agra – now National Highway-3 (NH3), it used to be a small junction known as Maliwadi (hamlet of gardeners).

Naro Shankar Raje Bahadur was appointed as an agent in Malwa. He was gifted 18 villages which included Malewadi. He constructed Malegaon Fort in 1740 using craftsmen from Surat and northern India, the construction of which took 25 years. After the fort was completed, the craftsmen settled in the town. Since long people have been immigrating to Malegaon after persecution. Post the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been faster growth in the city.
