Baroda grew strong under Maratha rule. In 1726, Pilaji Gaekwad took Songadh from Mughals. Before that, Babi Nawabs led for Delhi kings. From 1705 to 1716, Khanderao Dabhade guided Maratha forces here. Gaekwads held power from 1734 to 1948. Pilaji collected Peshwa taxes in Gujarat. But he built his own land. His son Damajirao beat Mughals. He claimed Baroda in 1734. Later rulers grew Gujarat tracts. They ruled as top powers.
After 1761’s Third Panipat Battle, Peshwas lost grip. The empire turned loose. Gaekwads led till 1949. They joined free India. In 1802, British helped a new Maharaja. Rivals fought the throne. Baroda signed a deal. It became a princely state. Maharajas kept home rule. But they gave foreign ties to British.
Sayajirao III ruled from 1875 to 1939. He brought big changes. Schools turned free and must. Libraries spread wide. A university rose. Textile and tile plants modeled new ways. Baroda earned a fresh look. It became an industrial spot. Sayajirao dreamed big. He wanted education, jobs, trade. He made it real. Now, folks call it Sayaji Nagari. His mark lasts strong.
Early settlers came in 812 AD. Hindu kings ruled till 1297. Gupta power hit first in Christian times. Chalukyas fought next. Solankis took over last. Delhi Sultans grabbed then. Mughals pushed them out. Marathas challenged big. Gaekwads made it their base. Shiv Bhatt ruled well from 1875 to 1939. He fixed roads and rules. British swayed much. But Baroda stayed princely till freedom.
