'''Haregaon''' (also '''Harigaon''') is a village in [[Shrirampur]], [[Ahmednagar District]], [[Maharashtra]], India. It is approximately 5 km from Shrirampur city on altitude.

==History==

Haregaon had one of the sugar factories in Maharashtra Belapur Sugar & Allied Industries Limited.(Brady & Brady Group) Set up by the [[British Empire|British]] in early 1919s.<ref>{{cite news|title=Haregoan community on orkut|url=http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=55854654|work=Orkut|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216232922/http://www.orkut.co.in/Main#Community.aspx?cmm=55854654|archive-date=2008-12-16}}</ref>
The name of the village is believed to be named after Mr. Harison, one of the founders of the factory. The factory had to shut down in 1988 due to scarcity of sugarcane. The village that was inhabited by factory workers became desolate.
