==History==
{{main article|Chhatarpur State}}
Chhatarpur was founded in 1785 and is named after the [[Bundela]] [[Rajput]] leader [[Maharaja Chhatrasal|Chhatrasal]], the founder of [[Bundelkhand]] independence, and contains his [[cenotaph]]. The state was ruled by his descendants until 1785. At that time the [[Ponwar]] clan of the [[Rajput]]s took control of Chhatarpur. The state was guaranteed to [[Kunwar Sone Singh Ponwar]]<ref>[http://uqconnect.net/~zzhsoszy/ips/c/chhatarpur.html] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080623182153/http://uqconnect.net/~zzhsoszy/ips/c/chhatarpur.html |date=23 June 2008 }}</ref> in 1806 by the [[British Raj]].
In 1854 Chhatarpur would have lapsed to the British government for want of direct heirs under the [[doctrine of lapse]], but was conferred on Jagat Raj as a special act of grace. The [[Pawar|Ponwar]] Rajas ruled a [[princely state]] with an area of {{convert|1118|sqmi|km2}}, and population of 156,139 in 1901, which was part of the Bundelkhand agency of [[Central India Agency|Central India]].

In 1901 the town of Chhatarpur had a population of 10,029, a high school and manufactured paper and coarse cutlery. The state also contained the British cantonment of [[Nowgong, Chhatarpur|Nowgong]].<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Chhatarpur|volume=6|page=116}}</ref>

==Flora and Fauna==
From National Highway [[National Highway 39 (India)|39]] to village many trees of [[sugar-apple]]s can be found on both sides of road. It also found in many areas of forest around the village.
