'''Mohanpur State''' ({{lang-gu|મોહનપુર}}; {{lang-hi|मोहनपुर}}) was a small [[princely state]] belonging to the [[Mahi Kantha Agency]] of the [[Bombay Presidency]] during the era of the [[British Raj]].<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?volume=17&objectid=DS405.1.I34_V17_390.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 17, p. 384.]</ref> It was centered on [[Mohanpur, Sabarkantha|Mohanpur]] town,<ref>[http://www.maplandia.com/india/gujarat/sabarkantha-himatnagar/mohanpur/ Mohanpur location]</ref> in present-day [[Sabarkantha district]] of [[Gujarat State]], and included 52 villages.

== History ==
A predecessor state was founded around 1227 by an ancestor of the later kings named Thakore Jaspal, but its history is obscure.<ref>[http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/m/mohanpur.html Royalty - Mohanpur (Princely State)]</ref>

He married and had issue.<ref name="WS">[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html Princely States of India]</ref> ''Thakur'' Vinaysinhji Sartansinhji signed the [[instrument of accession]] to the [[Dominion of India]] on 10 June 1948.
