'''Sonepur''' also known as '''Sonpur State''',<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Sonpur |volume=25 |page=416}}</ref> was one of the [[princely state]]s of [[India]] during the period of the [[British Raj]]. Its ruler was entitled to a nine [[salute state|gun salute]].<ref>[http://members.iinet.net.au/~royalty/ips/s/sonepur.html Sonepur Princely State (9 gun salute)]</ref> Formerly it was placed under the [[Central India Agency]], but in 1905 it was transferred to the [[Eastern States Agency]].<ref> Malleson, G. B.: ''An historical sketch of the native states of India,'' London 1875, Reprint Delhi 1984</ref> Its capital was [[Sonepur, Odisha|Sonepur]], the only significant town in the area. The former state's territory is in the present-day [[Subarnapur district]], [[Odisha]].

==History==
The Sonepur state was founded in 1650 when the fourth Chauhan ruler of [[Sambalpur State|Sambalpur]] Madhukar Dev, conquered the region from the Bhanja rulers of Boudh and entrusted it to his younger son Madan Gopal who hence became the founder of the Chauhan dynasty branch of Sonepur.<ref>{{citation |title=ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS SUBARNAPUR |publisher=GAD, Govt of Odisha |url=http://www.gopabandhuacademy.gov.in/sites/default/files/gazetter/Subarnapur_Gazetteer.pdf |pages=22-29 |date=2016 }}</ref><ref>{{citation |title=GENEALOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHAUHAN RULERS OF PATNAGARH IN WESTERN ORISSA: A STUDY |publisher=IRJHRSS |url=https://1library.net/document/y9gpv4dq-genealogical-analysis-chauhan-rulers-patnagarh-western-orissa-study.html |author=Raghumani Naik |date=3 March 2018 |access-date=12 March 2021}}</ref>

The state came under the control of the [[British Empire]] post the Maratha defeat and later the king Niladhar Singh Deo was awarded with titles for services rendered to the British during the [[History of Sambalpur#Sambalpur uprising|Sambalpur uprising]].<ref name="IGI">[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V23_090.gif ''Imperial Gazetteer of India'', v. 23, p. 90.]</ref>

After Indian independence, Sonepur's last ruler acceded to the newly independent [[Dominion of India]], on 1 January 1948 with the state forming much of the present day [[Subarnapur district]].
