Jaigad has been a historical landmark for centuries. Historians have found documents from the 16th century which tell us the historical importance of this fort. Looking at the overall structure of the fort, historians believe that Jaigad fort must have been built by the residents of Bijapur. In 1578-80, Naik from Sangameshwar won this fort in a battle and even though they tried many times, the residents of Bijapur could not win the fort back. Form 1695, Jaigad was under the control of Kanhoji Aangre. Finally, in 1818, the fort was captured by the British army without any battle.
