'''Malpur State''' ({{lang-gu|માલપુર}}; {{lang-hi|मालपुर}}) was a small [[princely state]] belonging to the [[Mahi Kantha Agency]] of the [[Bombay Presidency]] during the era of the [[British Raj]].<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V17_100.gif Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 17, p. 94.]</ref> It was centered on [[Malpur]] town, in present-day [[Aravalli district]] of [[Gujarat State]].

== History ==
Malpur State was founded in 1466, but little is known about its early history. Rawal Virajmal, son of Rao Kiratsinghji of [[Idar State]], was succeeded on 12 April 1882 by his son Rawal Dipsinhji Sheosinhji, born in 1863.{{Citation needed|date=August 2019}}

Malpur State was merged with [[Baroda State]] under the [[Attachment Scheme]] in December 1943.<ref>McLeod, John; ''Sovereignty, power, control: politics in the States of Western India, 1916–1947;'' Leiden u.a. 1999; {{ISBN|90-04-11343-6}}; p. 160</ref> The last ruler was Rawal Shri Gambhirsinhji Himatsinhji, born 27 October 1914 and who acceded to the throne on 23 June 1923.<ref name="WS">[http://www.worldstatesmen.org/India_princes_K-W.html Princely States of India]</ref> He was educated at Scott College, Sadra and Mayo College, [[Ajmer]] and nominally ruled till 1947 while the process for joining [[India]] was active.
