Pulgaon is a municipal council in Wardha district in the India state of Maharashtra. The nearest city is Wardha, away via the Mumbai–Nagpur Expressway.
==History== Pulgaon was created as a municipality in 1901 and has an area of under its jurisdiction. The old town lies south of the railway station and is relatively new; it grew from a collection of hutments of workers employed for the nearby railway bridge over the Wardha river. It is therefore unofficially called "Bridgetown" (from and ). The town's rapid rise in importance was partially due to its favorable position in the center of a cotton-growing area.
