History

Sangole was a prominent part of the Maratha dynasty under the Ingoles. It is believed that Sangole as a town was established around the 14th or 15th century by six Ingoles. Babaji Lakhmoji Ingole & his five sons (6 Ingole's) have constructed a fort and situated town Sangole. The name of Sangole is derived from these six Ingoles (Saha Ingole) – Sangole. There is a historic fort inside Sangola town and later the Ingole's were awarded Deshmukhi of Paragane Sangole by Aadilshah of Bijapur. Still in many villages the Deshmukh families are residing – mainly – Sangole city, Deshmukh Vasti- Bamani, Jawala, Sonand. Ingole-Deshmukhs are now farmers holding lands in these villages. The direct descendant of Babaji Raje Ingole resides in Pune, Dnyaneshwar Raje Ingole-Deshmukh. The fort at Sangole was built, reportedly by Deshmukhs under Bijapur's Aadilshah king. It is believed that later the Deshmukh's left the Aadilshah of Bijapur and joined the forces of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Aadilshah had awarded Deshmukhi of 72 villages of Paragane Sangole to Ingole Deshmukh's. The town later grew up around the fort was so prosperous that it was locally called the Golden Sangola or "Sonyache Sangola" (सोन्याचे सांगोले).
