The town is located at the foot of a solitary hill, with the surrounding area has been almost completely flattened by approximately 30 stone quarries.
This is largely due to the Bus Terminal which acts as a hub for cross country buses which are en route to the city of Surat.
This passing traffic has bought much trade into Songadh as it is the first town as you enter Gujarat from the East (or the last before you leave from the West).
To the west of Songadh is the district capital of Vyara which has a slightly smaller population but substantially more industry.
Built deliberately on top of the high hill as a vantage point to keep an eye on enemies, the fort is also a brilliant example of Indian architecture where the influence of both Mughals and Marathas are evident.
The Songadh Municipality has a population of 26,515 of which 13,518 are males while 12,997 are females as per report released by Census India 2011.
