It was situated in the [[Malwa Plateau]]. The state had an area of {{convert|29|sqmi}}, and a population of 2,944 (as of 1901). Its headquarters were at [[Muhammadgarh, India|Mohammadgarh town]].

==History==
Mohammadgarh state was established in 1842 with parts of [[Basoda State|Basoda]] and [[Kurwai State|Kurwai]] states,<ref name="WS"/> when Ahsanullah Khan, the [[Nawab of Basoda]] divided his state between two sons, Bakaulla and Muhammad Khan. The latter became acknowledged as founder of the town of [[Muhammadgarh, India|Muhammadgarh]] was founded by Muhammed Khan and named by his name, and state of Muhammadgarh. The rulers of Mohammadgarh refused to accept the overlordship of [[Gwalior State]], retaining their independence.{{verify source|vol 12 pages= 282–283, the pages reference does not contain reference to Mohammadgarh but to 'godavari'|date=March 2015}} <ref>{{cite book| title=Imperial Gazetteer of India, Central India, vol. 12|pages= 282–283|year=1908| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xQC2AAAAIAAJ }}</ref>

The Nawab of Mohammadgarh was one of the original constituents of the [[Chamber of Princes]], an institution established in 1920. Mohammadgarh state would remain a [[British protectorate]] until 1947, when its last ruler signed the accession to the [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]].

Although the rulers of this native state belonged to a Muslim [[Pathans of Madhya Pradesh|Pathan]] dynasty, over 80% of the population of Muhammadgarh State followed the Hindu religion. In June 1947 the state became part of [[Madhya Bharat]], until all the princely states were abolished. Then the state's territory was integrated in [[Madhya Pradesh]].
