The area was ruled by the Morè clan. The clan claims descent from the Somavanshi king Morè of the Kashmir Region. Some Morè also claims descent from the Mauryan Dynasty of Patana (Bihar) which ruled over the Maurya Empire, located in present day India. The Maurya Empire, and many Morè, boast of rulers like Chandragupta Maurya and Ashoka. In Pre-Shivaji era, Morè were feudatory of Vijaynagar empire along with other highest maratha clans like Bhoite, Kadam, Salunkhe, Shinde who were under Sultanates of Deccan. Later, when they opposed King Shivaji's Swarajya Kingdom, they were punished. After that, many more joined the Maratha cavalry of Shivaji and remained active and trusted lieutenants of Maratha Empire.

The Battle of Salher was fought between the Marathas and the Mughals at nearby Salher fort in 1672.
