History

During the Muslim period, Mohol was known as 'Sonalpur'. An inscription from 1316 AD found in Kamati, Mohol taluka, confirms this. Mohol was part of the Ahmednagar, Pune, and Satara districts before becoming a sub-district of Ahmednagar in 1838. In 1871, the district was reformed and joined with other sub-divisions to become the Solapur district.
