'''Kinwat''' is a city which falls under the [[municipal council]] of the [[Nanded District]], in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Maharashtra]]. The Kinwat Taluka came into existence in 1905 when a number of villages from Narsapur and Nirmal Talukas from the [[Adilabad district|Adilabad District]], were combined. Earlier, these villages were under the Hyderabad Division.<ref>[[Imperial Gazetteer of India]], Volume 15, Page 307</ref> In 2011, Kinwat had population of 28454 with literacy rate of 82% and female sex ratio of 929.<ref name="census1"/> Kinwat is 125 km away from [[Nanded]] city.

==Geography==
Kinwat is located at {{Coord|19.63|N|78.2|E|}} <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/16/Kinwat.html|title=Maps, Weather, and Airports for Kinwat, India|work=fallingrain.com}}</ref> in the Indian state of Maharashtra in the district of Nanded. It has an average elevation of 314 meters (1030 feet). The Penganga River flows alongside the town while the Nagzari Dam is located just a few kilometers away from it. The dam is the only water source for nearby residents. Drinking water is taken from the deep ground levels by new colonies, leading to a possible cause for the sunken water table. The most popular residential area is SVM colony, Lecturer colony and Khoja colony. The city has few large-scale farms on Kinwat-Mandwa-Nagzari Road. Kinwat also has wide area forests. Kinwat has a waterfall at islapur, and hot springs at unkeshwar.{{fact|date=May 2017}}

'''Kinwat''' has a railway station on the Mudkhed-Adilabad Meter Gauge (Now Broad Gauge) Section; previously, the Hyderabad (HYB) Division of the South Central Railway (SCR).

The Mudkhed-Adilabad Meter Gauge Section has since then converted into Broad Gauge. Now the Broad Gauge, linking Kinwat to most of the major cities in India like [[Mumbai]], [[Kolkata]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Nagpur]] and [[Pune]] has created benefits for the citizens as it allows new trains to pass the station.{{fact|date=May 2017}}
