Dharwad Peda was originally started by the Thakur family who had migrated from Unnao in Uttar Pradesh to Dharwad after plague broke out in Unnao in early 19th Century. Ram Ratan Singh Thakur, a first generation confectioner started producing and selling pedas locally.Dharwad pedha was prepared basically from the milk of Dharwadi buffaloes which are the animals raised by Gavali community in and around dharwad. His grandson Babu Singh Thakur helped grow the family business further in their Line Bazaar store and the peda came to also be called locally as the "Line Bazaar Peda". The family closely guards the recipe of the Peda as a trade secret which has been passing down the lineage. Babusingh Thakur's single outlet store that was running for a few decades expanded later in Dharwad, Hubli, Bangalore, Haveri and Pune. In many other cities around India other confectioneries also sell Dharwad peda which is not connected to the Thakur family.
