History
Morvada is said formerly to have belonged to Turks and to have been conquered from them by Chavda Rajputs, who in 1479 (Samvat 1535), were expelled by Visaldev, a descendant of Lunaji Vaghela of Tharad. It was ruled the Vaghela house of Tharad, the lineal descendants of Visaldev till independence of India.
Morvada entered into agreements with the British Government in 1820s. It was under Palanpur Agency of Bombay Presidency, which in 1925 became the Banas Kantha Agency. After Independence of India in 1947, Bombay Presidency was reorganized in Bombay State. When Gujarat state was formed in 1960 from Bombay State, it fell under Banaskantha district of Gujarat.
