==History==
{{see also|Rewa State}}
[[File:Delhi Durbar 1903.jpg|thumb|left|Delhi Durbar of 1903, held to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra as Emperor and Empress of India: Elephant Carriage of the Maharaja of Rewa at the Retainers' Review, 7 January 1903]]
The district of Rewa derives its name from the town of Rewa, the district headquarters, which is another name for the [[Narmada River]]. The territories now included in the district were held by the [[Maurya Empire|imperial Maurya]] dynasty, which ruled in the 3rd century BC. The area came under the [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuris]] from the 9th to the end of the 12th century. In the 13th century, [[Ulugh Khan]], brother of Sultan Alauddin, drove the Baghela king east into the area, where he founded the [[Rewa (princely state)|Princely State of Rewa]]. This dynasty continued until the last successor, [[Martand Singh]], abdicated and acceded rule to the [[Dominion of India]] in 1947. The present Rewa district came into existence in 1950 when the Provinces and States Order (transfer of enclaves) was put into effect. Prior to August 1947, the district, along with the Raghurajnagar tehsil of the former Rewa state, corresponded to that state's north Rewa district.<ref name="Brief history of the district">{{cite web|last1=New Delhi|first1=Census of India|year=2011|title=District census hand book, Rewa (village and town directory)|url= http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/23/2313_PART_A_DCHB_REWA.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161007113339/http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/23/2313_PART_A_DCHB_REWA.pdf|archive-date=7 October 2016|access-date=7 October 2016|format=PDF|page=xvii}}</ref>
