 ==History==
-The Rana, rulers of Vav, came from Sambhar and [[Nandol]] in [[Rajasthan]], and claim kindred with [[Prithviraj Chauhan]], who was defeated and slain by the Afghans in 1193. After many turns of fortune, Dedhrav, driven out of Nandol, settled at Tharad, then under the [[Chaulukya dynasty|Chaulukya]] kings of [[Anhilwad Patan]] kings. According to other view his son Rana Ratansing, driven out of Nadol, in 1103, settled at Tharad. Rana Punja, the seventh in descent from Dedhrav was killed by the Muslims in battle in 1283. His son Rana Vaja regained his estate, by influence of his father-in-law the Raval of [[Jaisalmer]], as a grant from Delhi emperor but lost Tharad. So he chose his new capital, Vav. Vav gained its name from a step-well built by his great grandfather Rana Mehpalji. It suffered very severely from the 1813 famine. During British period, the eighteenth descendant, Umedsinh, agreed with British in 1819-20 and became protectorate.{{sfn | ''Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha'' | 2015 |page=334, 350-351}}
