Hingangaon is one of the capitals of [[Suryavansha|Suryavanshi]] [[Bhoite]], Royal 96k Maratha Clan who are the Brotherhood of Royal Bhoite's Capital Centres [[Tadawale Sammat Wagholi]] and [[Wagholi]]. These Bhoite's are mostly related to Maratha Cheiften Family of Bhoite Royal 96k clan. Bhoite families in Hingangaon are prominent [[Marathi people|Marathas]] who dominated the political scene of the Phaltan Tehsil and the British colonial period. They were the active leaders of Sansthani Praja Parishada, Phaltan —Princely State under British dominion ruler Maratha Naik [[Nimbalkar]] Clan.

This place and the surrounding area was a vassal estate of [[Sahara Kingdom|Satara Kingdom]], ruled by Shrimant Abasaheb Bhoite Sarkar. With annexation of Satara Kingdom, this estate lost its position and the ruler refused to submit to British rule.<ref>History of Satara</ref><ref>Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastusangrahalaya Satara</ref><ref>The Satara raj, 1818-1848: a study in history, administration, and ... - Page 190
