	The Saugor and Nerbudda Territories were captured by the [[British East India Company]] from the [[Maratha]]s at the conclusion of the [[Third Anglo-Maratha War]], in 1818. Saugor was the seat of a Maratha governor, and the northern portion of the territory was ceded by the Maratha [[Peshwa]]; the southern portion, which included [[Jabalpur\|Jubbulpore]] and the upper [[Narmada River\|Nerbudda]] valley, was ceded by the [[Bhonsle]] Maharaja of [[Nagpur]].
