Daund is a fairly ancient city, mentioned even in the Mahabharat as Dhindir Van, where Krishna’s wife Rukmini has been known to have visited. This city has been named on a sage called Dhaum. This Marathi speaking, 2 lakh populated city has been historically known for the horse breeding and trading, as initiated in the era of the Peshwas. Historically, Daund has been very important, especially in the British rule as the development of the railways was started during this period. The laying of tracks and construction of platforms was rapidly taking place as railways started and moved on from 1870, when Mumbai Solapur track was laid and Daund station lay on the route. Also, Daund became famous because coal ash was abundant and coal engines swarmed the city’s station due to this reason. It is also used in making bricks, so Daund became a hub for brick making technology too.
