History
Pachora has a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The town was known as "Pachavardhana" during the reign of the Mauryan Empire in the 3rd century BCE. It was also ruled by the Satavahanas, the Rashtrakutas, and the Yadavas. In the 14th century, the town was part of the Bahmani Sultanate, and later came under the control of the Mughal Empire in the 16th century.
During the British colonial period, Pachora was a small agricultural town that produced cotton and other crops. The town's cotton mills were established in the early 20th century and played a significant role in the town's economic development. Pachora was also part of the Indian independence movement and played an active role in the non-cooperation movement in the 1920s.
After India's independence in 1947, Pachora became part of the newly created state of Maharashtra. The town continued to grow and develop, and today it is a major center for cotton production, trade, and education in the region.
Pachora Municipal Council was established on 1 April 1947. Pachora grabbed a Vidhan-Sabha Constituency in 1952.
