History
Tasgaon's historical significance is documented in ancient inscriptions like the Tasgaon Tamrapat from the Yadava period (12th-13th century), linked to king Yadav Krishnadeva(Krishna) indicating its importance as a settlement in southern Maharashtra. In 1758, French philosopher Anquetil du Perron described Tasgaon as a fortified town with strong walls, towers, and a moat.
During the Maratha Empire, Tasgaon was granted as a Jagir (feudal estate) to Parshuram Bhau Patwardhan by Narayanrao Peshwa in 1774, establishing the Tasgaon Sansthan under the Patwardhan Dynasty. The sansthan was formalized in 1808. The Ganpati Temple, a symbol of the city's heritage, was initiated by Parshuram Bhau in 1779 and completed by his son, Appa Patwardhan, in 1799.
The Tasgaon Sansthan was annexed by the British in 1848 under the Doctrine of Lapse during the rule of Ganpatrao Patwardhan. After India's independence in 1947, Tasgaon became part of the South Satara district in 1949, renamed Sangli district in 1960. Today, Tasgaon is a growing urban centre with a strong agricultural economy.
