Narsing garh state was formerly Central India Agency ( Bhopal ), now in Madhya Pradesh State, area of state was 1,920 Sq. Km. and population of state was 113,873 in 1931. Privy purse of state at  the time of accession  on 15 June 1948  was Rs.115,000. The capital of state was town of the same name Narsinghgarh.

The principality was founded in 1681 by a Hindu dynasty whose rulers belonged to the Kshatriya - Parmar clan of Rajputs and claimed descent from Umat, son of Raja Bhoj. The estate was earlier part of Rajgarh State, whose rulers also share same ancestry and from which it was carved as a new estate. The state was a feudatory Jagir to the Holkar rulers of Indore State, but in 1872 Narsinghgarh estate recognized as a state.

After Indian independence in 1947, the rulers of Narsingarh acceded to the Union of India, and the principality was incorporated into the new state of Madhya Bharat in 1948, which subsequently became Madhya Pradesh state on 1 November 1956.
