The
state was founded by Virsinhji in 1781 and had its capital in Bansda.
Its rulers were Rajputs of the Solanki dynasty
known as Vansadias. Bansda's last ruler signed the accession to the Indian
Union on 10 June 1948 . The area of the
state was 557 Sq Km. and the population was 48,807 in 1931 AD.
The Family of the chief
are Hindus of Rajput extraction, claiming descent from the Solanki race. The
ruins of the fortified enclosure near Bansda, and of several temples and works
of irrigation, point to a former period of prosperity. The family follows the
rule primogeniture and has received a sanad authorizing adoption. The Marathas
seem to have been the first to bring the chiefs entirely into subjection and to
impose a tribute upon them. The right of levying this tribute was transferred
by the Peshwa to the British under the Treaty of Bassein (1802).
Privy purse of the state at the time of accession was Rs 160,000.
