==History==<br />
Vadhiyar was originally known as ''Vriddhikar'', the land of grass or herdsmen. The word is also said to be a corruption of Vandh Ahir, the Ahir's camping ground. It was famous for its grass, fowls, sheep, and horses. It is of historic interest as the first seat of the [[Chavda dynasty]], who, in 746, founded the city of [[Anhilwad Patan]]. The site of their first capital is preserved in the village of [[Panchasar]].{{sfn | ''Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha'' | 2015 |page=358-359}}<br />
