History
The Newalkars of Jhansi were the jagirdars of the town. The town has a fort constructed by Sadashiv Rao Damodar Newalkar in 1726, the great grandfather of Rani Laxmibai.
As Konkanstha Tambe settled here over time, this village is said to be the native of Queen Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Also, Rani Lakshmibai's adopted son Anand Rao alias Damodar Rao Newalkar was born on 15 November 1849 in this town. His father Vasudevarao Newalkar was a Jagirdar of Parola.
In 1859, the town of Parola and its fort which belonged to a member of the Jhansi family were confiscated by British government and the fort was dismantled.
