History edit
Kothi State was founded at an uncertain date by a Baghel Rajput ruler who expelled the former Bharr ruler of the area.[2]
Towards the beginning of the nineteenth century, and in much the same manner as neighbouring Sohawal, Kothi became a British protectorate initially subordinate to Panna State. However, a separate sanad was granted to Rais Lal Duniyapati Singh in 1810.[2]
The last ruler of Kothi signed the instrument of accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950.[citation needed]
