During the British Raj period, it was a separate-tribute paying estate under the Chamardi thana in Gohilwad prant, one of many under the colonial authority of the Eastern Kathiawar Agency. It is fifteen miles north-west of Chamardi and was held by Gohil Rajputs originally Bhayat of Bhavnagar State. The taluka consisted only of the single village.[1]
