It is known for its antique fort. It was previously the chief town of Songir Sub division which was subsequently abolished and Songir was incorporated in Dhule Taluka in 1820. The historic fort has easy access and is entered through a stone gate still in good order. An inscription on this gate dated `Shake` 1497 (1575 A.D.) states that `Ugrasen, son of Mansingh was very brave`. Inside the fort there is a handsome old reservoir and a fine old well. Remnants of broken pipes of the old water systems that must have existed on the fort in the olden days can still be seen. Thalner, the former capital of Khandesh, is also known for its fort.
