==History==
==History==
At the beginning of the 19th century, Narsinghpur District was in the domain of the [[Maratha]] [[Bhonsle]] Maharajas of [[Nagpur]], and was known as "Gadaria Kheda". Soon a Jat leader occupied the place and built a large temple of Lord Narsingh on it. This led the city to be named Narsinghpur. Later this district was ceded to the [[British Raj]] in 1818. Narsinghpur District was part of the [[Nerbudda Division|Nerbudda (Narmada) Division]] of the [[Central Provinces and Berar]], which became the state of Madhya Bharat (later [[Madhya Pradesh]]) after India's independence in 1947.
