== History ==<br />
{{princely states topics}}<br />
Kawardha State was founded in 1751. According to legend its name would have originated in ''Kabirdham'', [[Kabir]]'s see, the current name of the district. In former times many [[Kabir panth]] adherents resided in the town. The rulers were [[Gonds]] of the [[Raj Gond]] dynasty.<ref>[http://www.indianrajputs.com/view/kawardha Rajput Provinces of India – Kawardha (Princely State)]</ref> <br />
Kawardha State's last ruler, Thakur Lal Dharamraj Singh, signed the accession to the [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]] on 1 January 1948, so the state territory was merged into [[Bombay State]], following its splits first assigned to [[Madhya Pradesh]], finally to [[Chhattisgarh]].<br />
