The '''Baroda Residency''' was one of the [[residencies of British India]], managing the relations of the British with [[Baroda State]] between 1806 and the 1930s.<br />

Baroda was an [[India]]n [[princely state]], ruled by the [[Gaekwad]] dynasty from its formation in 1721. Following the [[Second Anglo-Maratha War]] of 1803–1805, the Gaekwads of Baroda made peace with the British, entering into a [[subsidiary alliance]] which acknowledged British [[suzerainty]] and control of the state's external affairs in return for retaining internal autonomy{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}.<br />
<br />
With wealth coming from the lucrative cotton trade as well as rice, wheat and sugar, it was one of the largest and richest of the hundreds of princely states existing alongside [[British India]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/courant/access/808132672.html?dids=808132672:808132672&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Aug+16%2C+1927&author=&pub=Hartford+Courant&desc=India+Has+Rich+State+In+Baroda&pqatl=google|title=India Has Rich State In Baroda|date=16 Aug 1927|work=[[Hartford Courant]]}}</ref> It was thus one of the states which had a British Resident appointed to deal with no other princely state.<br />
<br />
In 1937 the princely states of the Baroda Residency, which in between had become the [[Baroda Agency]], were merged with those of the agencies adjacent to the northern part of the Bombay Presidency —[[Rewa Kantha Agency]], [[Surat Agency]], [[Nasik Agency]], [[Kaira Agency]] and [[Thana Agency]]— in order to form the [[Baroda and Gujarat States Agency]].<ref>[http://www.hubert-herald.nl/BhaGujarat1.htm History of the State of Gujarat]</ref><br />
On 5 November 1944 the Baroda and Gujarat States Agency was merged with the [[Western India States Agency]] (WISA) to form the larger [[Baroda, Western India and Gujarat States Agency]].<ref>S. S. Shashi, ''Encyclopaedia Indica: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh'' Volume 100 (1996), p. 6</ref> The autonomy of the state ended in 1949 when it [[Instrument of Accession|acceded]] to the newly formed [[Dominion of India|Union of India]]. <br />
