History
Pulgaon was created as a municipality in 1901 and has an area of 14 km2 (5.3 sq mi) under its jurisdiction. The old town lies south of the railway station and is relatively new; it grew from a collection of hutments of workers employed for the nearby railway bridge over the Wardha river. It is therefore unofficially called "Bridgetown" (from Marathi: पुल, romanized: pul, lit. 'bridge' and Marathi: गाव, romanized: gaon, lit. 'village/town'). The town's rapid rise in importance was partially due to its favorable position in the center of a cotton-growing area.
The town is built on rocky soil and derives its water supply mainly from the Wardha river, and more recently, from wells. In dry years, water scarcity has occurred.
In 2005, Pulgaon was a B-grade municipal council, with boundary limits of 5.29 square miles (13.7 km2). Like many small towns across India, Pulgaon's limits have been expanded and the majority of the population are actually legally within either Nachangaon or Gunjkheda.
