<br />
== History ==<br />
[[File:Hatti Madhi Pal.jpg|thumb|right|Ancient and now defunct Hathi Wada in Pal village]]<br />
Pal was abandoned at the beginning of the eighteenth century. When [[British raj|British rule]] began in [[Khandesh]] in 1817, they found Pal village desolate and infested with wild animals. Subhedar Nimbalkar of [[Yawal]] made an offer to British to re-populate the village in return of money, but Captain Briggs refused the offer. Since 1820, many attempts were made to re-populate the Pal village. In 1869-70, C. S. James encouraged some farmers to settle in Pal village and the village was re-settled. In 1880, population of Pal village was 600. Historical records mention existence of fort, Mosque and Hathi (elephant) [[Wada (house)|wada]] in the Pal village.<ref>{{cite web |title= The Gazetteers Department - Jalgaon.
