At the centre of the Jagbudi River, which begins at Baharwali and ends at Khopi near Khed, is an island called Diva, which is believed to be the first settlement of Baharwali in the 15th century. Its population began moving to India's mainland due to an increasing population.

Baharwali is divided into several localities: Baharwali Mohhla No. 1, Baharwali MOHLLA No. 2, Baharwali MOHLLA No. 3, Baharwali Buddha Wadi, and Baharwali Kunbhi Wadi (Bhaganewadi, Tep Wadi, Dewool wadi, Lad Wadi, Shigwan Wadi, madhali wadi, and Bahirwali Bhoi Wadi).

The gram panchayat (village council) or village panchayat is responsible for the developments in Baharwali. Headed by a sarpanch, its gram panchayat is divided into three parts: Bahirwali No. 1, 2, and 3.
