Initially
Guna sees to be the part of Avanti Kingdom founded by Chand Pradyota Mahesena
Later on Shishusangh added the kingdom of Avant which included Guna to the
growing empire of Magadha
|
In the beginning of 18th
century Chanderi was the part of Malwa and remaining portion of Guna
formed the part of Raghogarh State. Later on Raghogarh was split into
three state of which Garah and Dharnawada State among the three clamaints
of Raghogarh family. After the great revolt of 1857, Guna district thus
passed under the control of Gwalior State with Raghogarh as its mandatory
chief. An assistant to the resident of Gwalior was posted at Guna which
remained. an English cantonment after the year 1860. Although Guna was
dejure a part of Gwalior State, but because of its British cantonment, it
was considered expedient to locate the district headquarter there.
Bajrangarh, about 6 miles from Guna enjoyed that privilege. In 1897 the
midland railway constructed the rail route passing through Guna.After
independence on 28th May 1948, Guna became the part of Madhya Bharat as
one of its 16 Districts subsequently as a result of State on the formation
of new Madhya Pradesh in 1956 Guna district became a part of it |
