==History==<br />
Galna was an important place at the end of the fifteenth century. It lay on the border of the Deccan. It was held by the Maratha when about in 1487, two brothers Malik Wuji and Malik Ashraf, the Governors of [[Daulatabad, Maharashtra|Daulatabad]] took it and held for some time. In 1506 after the murder of Malik Wauji the fort was under the control of Malik Ahmed Shah Nizam of Ahmadnagar. On the death of [[Malik Ahmad Nizam Shah I|Malik Ahmed Shah]] Nizam of Ahmadnagar on 1510 again the fort was passed to Musalman chief who denied to pay tributes to Maratha chief. In 1634 Muhammad khan, the Musalman commandant of Galna delivered their tributes to Moghuls. It was attacked by Aurangzeb in 1704 and captured in 1705. In December 1804 this fort was taken from Holkars by Captain Wallace. Finally, in March 1818 it was occupied by native Infantry. For a few year after 1818, a mamlatdar held an office in Galna.<ref>https://cultural. maharashtra.gov.in/english/gazetteer/Nasik/022%20Places/001%20Place.htm#GalnaFort</ref><br />
