History

Tervada, once the chief town of a large district. Under the Gujarat Sultanate of Ahmedabad, Tervada together with Radhanpur, Morbi, Sami, Munjpur Kankrej, Santalpur, and Tharad, came into the hands of Fateh Khan and Rustara Khan Baloch, members of one of the most powerful families of Gujarat nobles who probably came from Sindh. With Tervada as their head quarters, the Baloch family continued to hold these lands till, early in the eighteenth century, they were taken by Nawab Kamal-ud-din Khan Babi, and confirmed to him by the Viceroy Mubariz-ul-Mulk (1723- 1730) of Jhalori family of Palanpur. [1]

During the eighteenth century, besides the parts made over to the Babi family, much of the Tervada estate was filched away from the weakened head of the house by his Koli Thakor and other neighbours. Of the former 104 Tervada villages only sixteen remain by nineteenth century. These were, in 1822, confirmed to Baloch Khan as the Nawab of Radhanpur failed to disprove his claim. He was succeeded by Thakor Nathu Khan. [1]

Tervada entered into agreements with the British Government in 1820s. It was under Palanpur Agency of Bombay Presidency, [2] which in 1925 became the Banas Kantha Agency. After Independence of India in 1947, Bombay Presidency was reorganized in Bombay State. When Gujarat state was formed in 1960 from Bombay State, it fell under Banaskantha district of Gujarat.

The history of Palanpur starts with its relation to the historic city of Chandravati ruled by Paramara dynasty. The town was re-peopled and ruled by Chauhans around thirteenth century. At the start of the seventeenth century, the Palanpur State was taken over by Jhalori dynasty of Pashtun Lohani (Bihari-Pathan) tribe which was founded in 1373 and ruled from Jhalor. The dynasty came into historical prominence during the period of instability that followed the demise of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the early 18th century. It was overrun soon afterwards by the Marathas; the Lohanis followed the trend of seeking recourse in the British East India Company against them and finally entered the subsidiary alliance system in 1817, along with all other neighbouring states, becoming a British protectorate governed by Palanpur Agency. After independence of India in 1947, Palanpur State was dissolved in 1949 and merged with India as a part of Bombay State. Subsequently, Palanpur became the capital of Banaskantha district of Gujarat.(Hebatpur)
