Sultanpur

Sultanpur was a town of Khandesh north of Shahada, whose walls and towers marked its former importance. Malik Raja of Khandesh captured it together with Nandurbar in 1370, but the ruler of Gujarat forced him to retreat. In 1536 Muhammad Shah III of Gujarat granted both places to Mubarak Khan Faruqi. Under Akbar, Sultanpur was a pargana of Nandurbar; in 1803 famine and depopulation struck the surrounding country.
