List of Localities in jabalpur

Jabalpur is a city located in the Jabalpur district of the state of Madhya Pradesh. It’s the state’s third-largest urban agglomeration and a major city. It’s also the administrative headquarters of the district.

Jabalpur has a strong historical and cultural heritage. It was earlier a center of the Kalchuri and Gond dynasties. Later, it was ruled by the Maratha and Mughal empires. During the British Raj, Jabalpur was a major cantonment town called Jabbulpore. Much later, post-independence, it received a new, simplified name, Jabalpur.

Considering the city’s history, it’s no wonder that Jabalpur still shows a strong military might. Today, it’s the army headquarters of Madhya Pradesh and the 4 surrounding states. And for that reason, the Indian Army occupies one-sixth of the city.

The city of Jabalpur also hosts several prominent institutes, such as the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing; Jabalpur Engineering College; the Tropical Forest Research Institutes; and the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
