It had a combined population of 5,510 in 1901, yielding a state revenue of 26,617 Rupees (some three quarters from land), paying a tribute of 4,893 Rupees to the Gaikwar Baroda State, supplemented by fixed tribute sums for Baroda from individual villages belonging entirely to Katosan state: 430 Rupees from Nadasa, 623 Rupees from Jakasna, 96 Rupees from Ajabpura, 139 Rupees from Gamanpura and 3,580 Rupees from Jotana. [3]

On 10 July 1943, Katosan ceased to exist, being among the princely states merging under the "Attachment Scheme" into the Gaekwad Baroda State; some petty estates within the Katosan thana had been similarly merged on 1 February 1940. [4] Thereafter, Baroda became a part of independent India's Bombay State and, still later, Gujarat.[ citation needed ] Rajvi makavana koli thakor Surendrasinhji Kirtisinhji of Katosan state in Jotana taluka died on Sunday at the age of 70 from a heart attack.
