'''Sagar''' is a city in the state of [[Madhya Pradesh]] in central [[India]]. Situated on a spur of the [[Vindhya Range]], {{convert|1758|ft}} above sea-level. The city is around {{convert|172|km|}} northeast of state capital, [[Bhopal]].

Sagar has been selected as one of the hundred Indian cities to be developed as a [[smart city]] under [[Prime Minister Narendra Modi]]'s flagship [[Smart Cities Mission]] and listed top safest city of India 2018.

==History==
The ancient Indian kingdom of [[Chedi Kingdom|Chedi]] had its capital at [[Suktimati]], which was located at Sagar during contemporary times. The history of Sagar District before 1022 A.D. is generally unknown; after that, records are available. Sagar was under the rule of [[Ahir]] Rajas and their capital was at [[Garhpehra]]. In 1660, [[Udenshah]], founded the present town of Sagar.<ref name="googlebook1">{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YX1siOYKthgC&q=jabalpur+ahir&pg=PA13 | title=The Beria (Rai Dancers): A Socio-demographic, Reproductive, and Child Health Care Practices Profile | publisher=Sarup & Sons | work=Berias | date=2006 | access-date=15 October 2014 | author=Arun K. Jain, A. N. Sharma | pages=13 | isbn=9788176257145}}</ref>

After 1735, the city came under the rule of the [[Peshwa]]s. In 1818, a large part of the [[Sagar district]] was ceded by Peshwa Baji Rao II to the [[East India Company|British East India Company]]. Administratively, the position of Sagar and the neighboring territories underwent frequent changes.

The Saugor territory was first placed under the superintendent of Political Affairs of [[Bundelkhand]]. Later, in 1820, this area, called the 'Saugor and Nerbudda Territories,' was placed under the administration of an agent to the governor-general. The region fell under the North-Western Province, following its constitution in 1835. In 1842 occurred the Bundela rising, the quelling of which demanded more direct attention by the Governor-General. But the order was restored in the following year, and the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories were again placed under the political control of an Agent to the Governor-General. The arrangement, however, was not found to be satisfactory, and these territories were once again restored to the North-Western Provinces in 1853. After that in 1861, the Saugor and Nerbudda territories and the Nagpur state formed a Commissioner's Province called Central Provinces.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sagar.nic.in/About/hist.html|title=History of Sagar|website=sagar.nic.in|access-date=17 May 2019}}</ref>
