The petty Hindu state, ruled by Thakore (Saheb)s of the Rajput Solanki dynasty, had a population of 5,360 in 1892 on 47 km2.

Under the British raj it was a fifth class state in the colonial Mahi Kantha Agency. It ceased to exist on 10th June 1948 by accession to newly independent India, the Privy Purse being fixed at 18,800 Rupees.

Economy

The major source of income for families is agriculture. There is also work in the quarry & stone crushing businesses surrounding the village, which comprise more than 30 companies. As of 2007, the previously well-known cotton ginning and pressing factory of the village was struggling as a consequence of a series of annual droughts.
