It is a railway junction on the Wardha-Badnera
section, Arvi

The main town lies south of the railway and is comparatively a new town sprung out of a collection of hutments of workers employed on the railway bridge over the Wardha river near which the town stands. Hence its name "Pul=Bridge_&_gaon=Town => 'Pulgaon' = a Town by the Bridge", sometimes called as the "Bridgetown
" just for fun. Its rapid rise in importance is due to the favorable position it occupies in the center of a large cotton growing tract. Again Pulgaon is on the Mumbai
-Nagpur
trunk route and hence can avail itself of the speedy transport. Added to the post and telegraph, is the telephone exchange which highly facilitates commercial transactions.
Pulgaon was created as a municipality in 1901[ Census Handbook of Wardha District however gives the year as 1902.] and has an area of 5.3 square miles (13.7 km²) under its jurisdiction . Nineteen elected councilors constitute the municipal committee. A president is elected by the councilors from among themselves to preside over its meetings.

& BEC fertilizers .
There are also some ginning and pressing factories. Hand-loom cloth industry is also picking up gradually. . The town has a rest house too.
The town is built on rocky soil and derives its water supply mainly from the Wardha
river
, though in recent years quite a few wells have been added to augment the water supply. In dry years when the water runs low a scarcity of water is felt.
Nachangaon & Gunjkheda being the two major adjacent villages, connected to Pulgaon with all the businesses & activities relying on it, making this area bigger than it is said, with a few others villages nearby coming behind. So many temples, Panchadhara in Wardha river, & so on.
"Pulgaon Cotton Mills", founded in 1890 by British, is one of the ancient industries in the central India, serving its 113 yrs of service, was closed by the State Government in March 2003, putting almost 2000 families in a big trouble, losing the major source of income for the people in town & surrounding areas.
The Ganesh Festival in PCM
was the biggest in Vidarbha
region and the most famous one, is now stopped or is not being offered anymore like the one it used to be before the closure in 2003. That was the real charm & entertainment in the town, for 10 days in Aug-Sept of every year. It is said that, under the high pressure of the Builder Lobby in state and getting a bulk amount of money, Maharashtra Govt closed 11 mills in the State between 2000–2003, and PCM was one of them, leaving bad impacts on minds & scars on the souls of the people in the state.
and Amravati
. Wardha
is the nearest city (32 km, via new Nagpur-Aurangabad-Mumbai express highway
) and a district
place too. While it's accessible to three cities & districts as well, Amravati
(75 km) on West, Wardha
(32 km) on East and Yavatmal
(50 km) on Southwest.
there is a randi bazar in pulgaon in all they consist of six markets outside pulgaon
district on bank of the Wardha river situated about 19 miles (30.6 km) south of Wardha.
As of 1991, Pulgaon population was 36,600 and still growing higher, as like in the rest of India
. The city limits have already been crossed and majority of the Pulgaon population, which even write Pulgaon as a city & pin
442302, are legally in the limits of either Nachangaon or Gunjkheda and so there is a need of restructuring of the city limits, which might make it a B-grade or even rather A-grade Municipal corporation with the total possible population of >70000. Currently, as of 2005, it is B-grade, with the current boundary limits of 5.29 square miles (13.7 km²) .
Though, Pulgaon falls under class-III towns in Maharashtra
, the population
of Pulgaon is largely declined in the past few years. This is the only case of population decline in the past decade, by 6.06%, in the Wardha District
and in Vidarbha
too . This is mostly because of the non-interests of the local people in politics, no Social awareness in people about their own rights, unavailability of industries and proper Education facilities in the area and also partly because of the CAD camp
in the surrounding area. This tend to result in the migration of the local people for their various needs. Also, Pulgaon, a Tehsil
level town, and almost twice in the size and population as compared to its tehsil Deoli, it is still ignored and always left unattended by the local and state authorities.
