Jogwad Village History
Preserving the Legacy of a 300+ Year-Old Village
Historically, Jogwad has been inhabited for about 300+ years. Initially, the area was forested and barren, with no population. The village was established by an elder named Kasamji Desai from Tadkeshwar village in Surat District. Historical records reveal that Kasamji Desai descended from the second son of Bija Bhai Desai in the Desai dynasty of Tadkeshwar. Due to a difference in the nobility, Kasamji Desai decided to ride a horse from morning to evening and settle wherever he reached by evening. He traveled on horseback through Baudhan, Timba, and Valod, arriving in Jogwad by evening. The area known as Patel Moholla in the village marks the spot where he settled. The name "Jogwad" was derived from the dense Banyan trees (Vad) in the area, and this name has been officially recognized.
The early settlers built the Jumma Masjid, creating a center of worship and community activity.
Through the centuries, Jogwad expanded its horizons, welcoming families with diverse surnames and traditions. Its residents embraced agriculture, specializing in sugarcane and mango farming, while also venturing into trade and education. Many have migrated globally, contributing to the prosperity and reputation of the village. Today, Jogwad stands as a testament to its enduring legacy and the strength of its community.
