'''Jubbal''' is a tehsil, town and a [[nagar panchayat]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hpurbandevelopment.nic.in/list_munci.htm |title=List of Municipalities / Urban Local Bodies in Himachal Pradesh |accessdate=2 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130802082926/http://hpurbandevelopment.nic.in/list_munci.htm |archivedate=2 August 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> in [[Shimla district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Himachal Pradesh]] which shares it's boundary with the state of [[Uttarakhand|Uttrakhand]] towards south-east. Jubbal is recognised as a major apple producing area in Shimla district along with [[Kotgarh]], [[Kumarsain]], [[Kotkhai]] and [[Chaupal, Himachal Pradesh|Chopal]]. It is famous for its Hindu temples, picturesque mountains and its royal palace situated in the town.

The history of Jubbal State goes back to 12th century. Among the 18 [[Thakur (Indian title)|Thakur]]ies located in the valleys of [[Sutlej]], [[Tons River|Pabbar]] and [[Gori Ganga|Giri]] this Thakurai was of considerable importance. Rulers of Jubbal belong to the [[Rathore]] clan. During 12th century Ugar Chand, the Raja of [[Sirmoor State]], had a summer palace in Soonpur, modern day [[Hatkoti]], which is overlooked by the plateau of Sonnpur, on the right bank of the [[Tons river#Tributaries|Pabbar river]]. While he was having pleasant company with his family he had to go back to [[Sirmaur district|Sirmaur]] leaving royal family behind. Due to heavy rainfall river [[Gori Ganga|Giri]] got flooded and capital of the state was swept away and the royal family lost its ancestral possessions the Sirmur State forever to a prince of Jaisalmer.

The [[princely state]] of Jubbal was founded in 1800. It was occupied by [[Kingdom of Nepal|Nepal]] from 1803 to 1815 and by the [[British Raj|British]] from 1832 to 1840. The rulers who belonged to the Rathore clan took the title of Rana. The last ruler Rana Baghat Chandra took the title of Raja in 1918.

Amongst all the rulers Rana Karam Chand was the most aggressive one who after being granted full ruling powers in 1854 started the expansionist approach by burning down the Kotis (large palatial wooden houses) and killing the local chieftains of the nearby adjoining areas mainly [[Bushahr|Bushahar state]]. The most important massacre being the burning down of 14 houses of the Khadola clan of nearby Kaina village which belonged to the Bushahar state. It was predominantly a warrior clan owning hundreds of acres of land and one day Rana Karam Chand got the news that the Khoonds (warriors) of the Kaina village has large reserves of food, silver, and gold. One fine day he sent his ministers to see whether the information is correct or not. To his surprise when the ministers came back from Kaina they brought down silverware with them in which they had eaten food. As a token of gratitude they were given every piece of silverware in which they have had their food. Seeing this Rana got angry and at the stroke of midnight burnt down all the 14 houses of Khadola clan. Only a single member of their clan survived.

Jubbal State had an area of 288 square miles and was famous for its dense forests of [[Cedrus deodara|deodar trees]]. Today, Jubbal is reputed for its apple orchards which provide its residents their main source of income. The town of Jubbal is about 100 kilometres from [[Shimla]].

Jubbal has also given the state of Himachal Pradesh a Chief Minister. [[Thakur Ram Lal|Ram Lal Thakur]] of Barthata village was the Chief Minister<ref name=leg>{{cite web|url=http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/STATISTICAL/himachal.htm|title=Himachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly|publisher=Legislative Bodies in India website|accessdate=10 January 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120301181657/http://legislativebodiesinindia.gov.in/STATISTICAL/himachal.htm|archive-date=1 March 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> from 1975 to 1977 and again from 1980 to 1982.
