			== Geography ==
			Sheopur district is located in the north of Madhya Pradesh in the Chambal division. It is bordered by [[Morena district]] to the north, [[Gwalior district]] to the east, [[Shivpuri district]] to the southeast, and Rajasthan to the south and northwest.

			The region is chiefly marked by the presence of the Chambal ravines - the [[Chambal River\|Chambal river]] marks the border with Rajasthan. Southeast of the Chambal is a plateau region which leads to a range of forested hills in the east of the district where lies [[Kuno National Park\|Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary]].

	Sheopur district was carved out of [[Morena District]] in 1998.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10603/14393/12/11_chapter%205.pdf \|website=shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in \|title=Displacement from wildlife protected areas and its impact on poverty and livelihood security: a study of Kuno wildlife sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh - Chapter 5 \|author=Kabha, Asmita}}</ref>		The town of Sheopur and its fort was said to have been founded by Indra Singh of the [[Gaur (clan)\|Gaur Rajputs]], feudatories of [[Jaipur State\|Jaipur]], in 1537. The first historical mention of the region occurs thanks to Nimat Ullah, who recorded an expedition of SIkander Lodhi in support of Raj Dungar who later converted to Islam. Sheopur surrendered to Akbar when he was advancing towards Chittor. Later it was made headquarters of a mahal in Ranthambore Sarkar. In 1808, it was conquered by Daulat Rao Scindia of Gwalior who gave it to his general [[Jean Baptiste Filose]] as a jagir. Filose managed to starve out the Gaurs remaining in the fort, who left in 1809. Under Daulat Rao, the town was a mint. While Filose was raiding adjoining territory of Jai Singh of [[Raghogarh State\|Raghogarh]], Singh captured the fort and his family. After 1818, Filose retired to Sheopur as his ''jagir''. Sheopur continued as a part of Gwalior state until 1947 when it became part of independent India. In 1956, it was merged with the remainder of Madhya Pradesh. Sheopur district was carved out of [[Morena District]] in 1998.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10603/14393/12/11_chapter%205.pdf \|website=shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in \|title=Displacement from wildlife protected areas and its impact on poverty and livelihood security: a study of Kuno wildlife sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh - Chapter 5 \|author=Kabha, Asmita}}</ref>
