According to the ''Rajputana Gazetteer'', the Jagir of village Bamrauli near [[Agra]], was transferred to the Chauhan and Kachwaha Rajputs of Bairath (near [[Alwar]]), during the rule of the [[Tomar]] Rajputs in [[Delhi]] in the 11th century. During Firuz Shah Tughluq's regime, his satrap in Agra, Muneer Mohammad, forced the Jats of Bamrauli to leave the village in 1367. The Bamraulia Jats moved to the region of Gwalior beyond the Chambal River. 
       
According to Cunningham and William Cook, the Bamraulia Jats founded the city of [[Gohad]] near Gwalior in 1505. Later it developed into an important Jat State that continued till Indian Independence. The Jat rulers of Gohad were awarded the title of [[Rana]].  
   
Singhan Deo was the first Jat ruler of the state of Gohad. The chronology of Jatt rulers of Gohad has 17 names: Singhan Deo I, Singhan Deo II, Devi Singh, Udyaut Singh, Rana Anup Singh, Sambhu Singh, Abhay Chander, Ratan Singh, Uday Singh, Bagh Raj, Gaj Singh, Jaswant, [[Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana|Bhim Singh]], [[Girdhar Pratap Singh]], [[Chhatar Singh]], [[Kirat Singh]].

The British Government concluded a treaty with Jats and with their help defeated Marathas and won back [[Gwalior]] and [[Gohad]] from them. The British kept Gwalior with them and handed over Gohad to Jats in 1804.<ref>Dr. Ajay Kumar Agnihotri (1985) : "Gohad ke jaton ka Itihas" (Hindi), p.63</ref>

Gohad was handed over to Marathas under a revised treaty dated 22 November 1805 between Marathas and Britishers. Under this treaty Gohad ruler Rana [[Kirat Singh]] was given [[Dhaulpur]], Badi and Rajakheda in exchange with Gohad. Rana [[Kirat Singh]] moved to [[Dhaulpur]] in December 1805.<ref>Dr. Ajay Kumar Agnihotri (1985) : "Gohad ke jaton ka Itihas" (Hindi), p.71</ref> Sindhias could take over Gohad on 27 February 1806 with the help of Britishers. Thus the [[Rana]] [[Jat]] rulers of [[Bamraulia]] [[gotra]] ruled Gohad for 300 years from 1505&ndash;1805. <ref>Dr. Ajay Kumar Agnihotri (1985) : "Gohad ke jaton ka Itihas" (Hindi)</ref>

The present town of Dholpur, which dates from the 16th century, stands somewhat to the north of the site of the older town built in the 11th century by Raja Dholan (or Dhawal) Deo, a Tomara Rajput chieftain; it was named as Dholdera or Dhawalpuri after him.Modern research says in 10 th century Jats took over the control of Dhaulpur. Before jats The Yadav were ruler in buddha time. After that Tomer of Gwaliar Win Dhaulpur but Jats remain there Emperor.

In 1450, Dholpur had a Raja of its own. However, the fort was taken by Sikander Lodi in 1501 and transferred to a Muslim governor in 1504. In 1527, after strenuous resistance, the fort fell to Babur and came under the sway of the Mughals along with the surrounding country. It was assigned by Emperor Akbar to the province of Agra. A fortified ''sarai'' built during the reign of Akbar still stands in the town, within which is the fine tomb of Sadik Mohammed Khan, one of his generals.

During the dissensions which followed the death of emperor Aurangzeb in 1707, Raja Kalyan Singh Bhadauria obtained possession of Dholpur. His family retained it until 1761, after which it was taken successively by the Jat [[Maharaja Suraj Mal]] of Bharatpur; by Mirza Najaf Khan in 1775; by the Scindia ruler of Gwalior in 1782; and finally, by the British East India Company in 1803. It was restored by the British to the Scindias under the "Treaty of Sarji Anjangaon", but in consequence of new arrangements, was again occupied by the British. Finally, in 1806, the territories of Dholpur, Ban and Rajakhera were handed over to Kirat Singh of Gohad, in exchange for his own state of Gohad, which was ceded to the Scindias.

From this point begins the history of the princely state of Dholpur, a vassal of the British during British Rule. After Independence, it was incorporated into the newly-formed state of [[Rajasthan]].
