History

The talukdari in Gohilwar prant was established by Hanubha Gohil, third son of Lakhaji III, 16th Thakor Saheb of Lathi. Hanubha and his brothers Fatehsinh and Ajabha were given estate of Ingorala after death of Lakhajiraj. They were able to wrest control of Limda and neighboring villages from their Kathi rulers, thus expanding control over total five villages. Their descendants held estates here until the abolition of jagirs by The Bombay Merged Territories and Areas (Jagirs Abolition) Act of 1953.

The last ruler of Limda Darbar saheb shri Ranjitsinhji Bhavsinhji Gohil played an active role in the liberation of Junagadh from Nawab during Arz-I-Hukumat movement. He was a Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)(1967) from Gadhada assembly constituency.[3]
