Etymology

The name "Nawegaon " comes from the word (meaning new ship in Marathi and Gaon mean village) Ship + gaon. This area is also known as Navegaon Bandh locally (In English bandh means Dam) due to the presence of the water mass. Mostly people trible leaves here and this area was under Gond kings in the old days.
Walking through the streets of history, we can find traces of the existence of the Community Kohali and in 1300 and beyond.

This community has developed skills, by inheritance, in the excavation and construction stone work. Sample files that grandiose temples in Jagannath Puri, and Bhubneshwar, the picturesque lakes of Kashmir and Rajasthan, were built by the community Kohali. This can be corroborated in reports documented in the book, "Aaj Bhi Khare Hain Talav" Gandhi Pratisthan Publication, New Delhi.
This tribe, in search of a vacation, emigrated to Central India, focusing on the areas known today as Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Bhandara and Gondia districts, where the population density is very high.

Rani Durgawati, after her marriage to King Dalpatshah powerful Gond kings, plunged into the affairs of state. The welfare of his subjects, become their primary concern. Agriculture was the source of life, and agriculture depends on the vagaries of Lord Indra and water supply. To supplement the resources, reservoirs, lakes (known as talavas tank or in the local dialect) were essential.
This visionary consort of King Dalpatshah, these children chose resistant land, Kohalis to take this risk. So, in 1300 AD, the great exodus began in earnest Kohalis right. They were awarded large tracts of farming as incentives for the construction of tanks, canals and waste dumps for storage and water supply. Also awarded the title of 'PATEL' or PATIL '.

The herds of cattle were put into service, to trample the soil excavated and poured water spray freshy dam wall, to provide robustness. Water stored in the reservoir, is provided free of charge to all farmers.
After completion of the dam, to express his gratitude to God, a fish of the species the "Wadi" was captured and adored with 30 Tolas of gold ornaments and again released into the tank. It was reported that this fish was sighted for several years, resplendent with all the trimmings. While construction of the dam, a temple of God Hanuman was built at the same time. In this case, viewers of the construction work, daily obedience paid first, before starting work. For the accumulation of water, a 200 sloping garden waste dam was built that also provide copies eel fish of the sea water to enter the lake by streams to spawn. The Government took over the management of the dam in 1951. They dismantled this waste-dump and rebuilt another landfill in the form of falling water.
