<br />
==History==<br />
Mangaon has been identified with the site of the ancient village of ''Kothuraka'', mentioned in the so-called Kothuraka grant of the 5th-century [[Vakataka dynasty|Vakataka]] ruler [[Pravarasena II]].<!-- Gupta 1973, p. 177 --> The same inscription also mentions a place called ''Maṇḍuki-grāma'', which has been identified with the nearby village of Mandgaon, 3&nbsp;km north of Mangaon.<!-- Gupta 1973, p. 187 --><ref name="Gupta 1973">{{cite book |last1=Gupta |first1=Parmanand |title=Geography in Ancient Indian Inscriptions |date=1973 |publisher=D. K. Publishing House |location=Delhi |url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.111857 |access-date=22 July 2023}}</ref>{{rp|177, 187}}<br />

==Industrial development==<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}<br />
The Vile-Bhagad M.I.D.C. industrial zone, which is located in Mangaon, was previously in a dilapidated state due to a lack of investment. Lately, however, the zone has increased in importance and houses several steel companies, including [[POSCO|POSCO LTD.]] Moreover, [[Tata Power|Tata Power Ltd.'s]] hydroelectric project has greatly reduced the need for additional energy generation in the Mangaon Taluka and industrial zones in [[Raigad district|Raigad]]. Recently {{cvt|15,000|acres|ha|abbr=on}} have been declared under [[MIDC acquisition]] in Mangaon.<br />

===Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Technical University===<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}<br />
The [[DBATU|Dr. Babasaheb Technical University, Lonere]], was established in the Mangaon ''taluka'' mainly catering to industrial and technical industries and offers several courses in petroleum and chemical technology. The university primarily attracts students from [[Konkan]], but also from other parts of Maharashtra, including [[Marathwada|Marathawada]], [[Vidarbha]] and [[Maharashtra|West Maharashtra]], many of whom attend the university to pursue courses such as petrochemical and petroleum chemical engineering which are only taught in a few universities across India.<br />
<br />
===Konkan Railway===<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=April 2023}}<br />
The development of Mangaon was boosted by the arrival of the [[Konkan Railway]]. Mangaon and [[Roha]] are the only railway stations near a ''taluka'' in Southern Raigad.<br />
<br />
[[Mangaon railway station]] is the nearest station to [[Shrivardhan]], [[Shrivardhan|Dive Agar]], [[Shrivardhan|Hari-Hareshwar]], [[Raigad district|Mhasala]], [[Raigad district|Tala]], [[Raigad district|Nijampur]], [[Mahad]], [[Raigad district|Raigad]] and [[Poladpur]].
