=Khargon, 1908=

Head-quarters of the Nimar district, Indore State, Cen-
tral India, situated in 21 degree 50' N. and 75 degree 37' E., on the left bank of the
Kundi river, a tributary of the Narbada. Population (1901), 7,624.
Khargon appears to have been founded under the Mughals. It was the
chief town of a mahal in the Bijagarh sarkar of the Subah of Malwa,
and later on became the chief town of the sarkar. Its importance in
those days is shown by the remains of large houses and numerous
tombs. Besides the district and pargana offices, a jail, a school, a dis-
pensary, a public library, and a State post office are situated in the
town. Local affairs are managed by a municipality, with an income of
Rs. 500, chiefly derived from octroi and other taxes.
