Hubli is one of the major cities in Karnataka, India. Often called Hubballi, it is the third largest city in the state behind Bengaluru and Mysore. Hybli is often twinned with the city of Dharwad. The Hubli-Dharwad conurbation, with a population of 980,000 people (2012 estimate), is the second largest in Karnataka after Bengaluru.
The history of Hubli goes back to at least the 15th century. As with many of the major cities in the region, it came under Mughal rule followed by the Maratha rule. The British captured Hubli in 1817. By then, the city has grown into a hub for the textile industry. Even today cotton production continues to be a major backbone of the city's economy, along with the growing of peanuts.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
