History edit
Ghodasgaon was part of Khandesh district until 1906 when the district was split to form two new districts: East Khandesh and West Khandesh. From the second half of the 19th century to 1954 the village was in Bombay Presidency. Ghodasgaon became part of East Khandesh district kn 1906. East Khandesh district was renamed to the current name Jalgaon district on 10 October 1960.[1][3][4][5]
In 1954, Ghodasgaon became part of the East Khandesh district and was part of Edlabad.[6][7][8] A 1911 British survey of mammals near Ghodasgaon found a prevalence of wild pigs and monkeys.[9] In 1956, Ghodasgaon became part of the newly formed Bombay State.[10] More, recently, Edlabad was renamed to Muktainagar.[5][3][11][12]
The village was previously situated on the banks of Purna River at 21°02′39″N 76°08′01″E / 21.04417°N 76.13361°E, but was relocated to the current site by the district government to avoid persistent flooding during the rainy season. In the early 1990s the local government started to make roads for the new village.[13]
