| ==History==
| |
| Very little is known of the early history of the state. According to tradition a predecessor state was established as Dhavalapura. In 1505 neighboring [[Gohad]] State of Rana [[Jat]]s was founded and between 1740 and 1756 Gohad occupied [[Gwalior Fort]]. From 1761 to 1775 Dholpur was annexed to [[Bharatpur State]] and between 1782 and December 1805 Dholpur was again annexed by Gwalior. On 10 January 1806 Dholpur became a [[British protectorate]] and in the same year the Ruler of Gohad merged Gohad into Dholpur.<ref name="WS"/><ref name="IGI">[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V11_329.gifImperial Gazetteer of India, v. 11, p. 323.]</ref>
