The name Jabali is derived from Saint Jabali Pattanam or Jabal (meaning ‘Rocks’ in Arabic). It is a geological and archeological paradise, with a large variety of rocks and monuments present in the surrounding area.

The Gond Princes Rani Durgavati laid down her life fighting the Moghul empire in the 16^th century. Thereafter it was ruled by the Peshwas and then came under the British Rule where it was made the headquarter of 12 districts.

A pleasure resort and capital of the Gonda Kings during the 12^th century, Jabalpur was later the seat of the Kalchuri dynasty. The Marathas held influence over Jabalpur until 1817, when the British wrestled it away from them and left their impression on the spacious cantonment area with its colonial residences and barracks. Today Jabalpur is an important administrative centre and a bustle with plenty of commercial activity.
