==History==
At the collapse of the [[Mughal Empire]], Bhayavadar fell into the hands of the Desais, who in about 1753 sold it to Jadeja Haloji of [[Gondal State]]. The ''Tarikh-i-Sorath'' says that Kumbhoji acquired Bhayavadar but probably he openly assumed the sovereignty while the sale took place in Haloji' s time. Bhayavadar is about eleven miles north of the Bhadar river, which is crossed by the bridge built by the Gondal Darbar at Supedi.<ref name="bg">{{cite book|title=Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Kathiawar (Public Domain text)|url=https://archive.org/details/1884GazetteerByBombayPresidencyVol8Kathiawar349D|year=1884|publisher=Printed at the Government Central Press, Bombay|volume=VIII|pages=397–398}}</ref>
