Dholpur is known as an old historical city. Dholpur is a famous princely state of Shivi Vanshi Bamrolia Jats. Maharana is against the kings of Dholpur. Originally Dholpur was a branch state of the Jat dynasty of Bharatpur. At the time of the death of Surajmal Jat, the best ruler of Bharatpur (1764 AD), Dholpur was included in the Bharatpur state. After the death of Surajmal Jat, a separate princely state was established here. After an agreement between Scindia, the British and the Jats, the Dholpur region came under the Jat kings of Gohad. The present town is situated to the north of the original town. This was done to avoid the flood of the Chambal River. Earlier Dholpur was a part of the feudal state, which was merged in 1949.
