==History==

===Early history===
According to legend Jaswan state was founded in 1170 by Raja Purab Chand from the Kangra Royal Family.<ref name="Jerath"/>
===British Raj===
In 1815, the Sikh maharaja [[Ranjit Singh]] ordered all his available forces to assemble at [[Sialkot]]. The raja of Jaswan, Ummed Singh (1800–1849), failed to obey the summons and was fined a sum beyond his means. The raja was forced to relinquish his state to the Sikh emperor, and accepted a [[jagir]] of 21 villages and 12,000 [[Rupee|Rs]] per annum. In 1848, he joined the Sikh in an unsuccessful revolt against the [[British India|British]]. His palaces were plundered and razed to the ground, and his territory annexed. He was stripped of his title and exiled to [[Almora]], where he died a year later.<ref name="NIC">

In 1877, the jagir in Jaswan, along with several other former properties in Rajpura and Amb, was restored to Ummed's grandson Ran Singh (b. 1833), who also later acquired the jagir of [[Ramkot Fort|Ramkot]] in Jammu upon marriage to a granddaughter of Maharaja [[Gulab Singh of Jammu and Kashmir|Gulab Singh]].<ref name="NIC"/>

The titles claimed by the princes, however, were still denied any recognition until Raghunath Singh (b. 1852) was granted the title of ''raja'' due to his [[Katoch]] lineage and marriages to two of the daughters of Maharaja [[Ranbir Singh (Maharaja)|Ranbir Singh]] of Jammu and Kashmir. The title could not be passed on through inheritance, and he could not administer his jagir. Raghunath Singh died in 1918, after which Laxman Singh succeeded him.<ref name="NIC"/>
