History

Founded in 1544 by Dewan Ugra Sen, who was forced by family dissensions to migrate from the Khichi capital of Gagraun. A grant of land was subsequently made to him by the Mughal Emperor, which included the adjoining Zirapur and Machalpur parganas, later conquered by Indore State, and Shujalpur, later in Gwalior State. Khilchipur was formerly the capital of this princely state, under the Bhopal Agency of British India's Central India Agency. The rulers acceded to the Government of India after India's independence in 1947, and the Khilchipur became part of the new state of Madhya Bharat. Madhya Bharat was merged into Madhya Pradesh on 1 November 1956.[2]
