Mohanpur State (Gujarati: મોહનપુર; Hindi: मोहनपुर) was a small princely state belonging to the Mahi Kantha Agency of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj.^[1] It was centered on Mohanpur town,^[2] in present-day Sabarkantha district of Gujarat State, and included 52 villages.

History

A predecessor state was founded around 1227 by an ancestor of the later kings named Thakore Jaspal, but its history is obscure.^[3]
