==History==

Datarpur State was founded in the middle of the sixteenth century by Raja Datar Chand, a scion of the princely families of [[Siba State|Siba]] and [[Guler State|Guler]] who named the state after himself. From 1786 the state was a feudatory of [[Kangra State]] until Raja Govind Chand made an alliance with the [[Gurkha]] invaders from [[Nepal]] in 1806, securing his complete independence.
Govind Chand was succeeded by his son Jagat Chand when Datarpur was conquered by Ranjit Singh of [[Lahore]] in 1818 and annexed to the [[Sikh Empire]] of Pañjab (Punjab), although a [[jagir]] was granted to Jagat Chand as compensation. But in 1848 Jagat Chand joined a rebellion against the British and was deposed, dispossessed and exiled to [[Almora]]. The territory of Datarpur was added to Siba State and annexed by the [[British Raj]] in 1849 as Dada-Siba. The descendants of Jagat Chand were given no jagir, but the royal house still exists.<ref>Mark Brentnall, ed.
