:Sagar, Madhya Pradesh

The ancient Indian kingdom of Chedi had its capital at Suktimati, which was located at Sagar during contemporary times. The history of Sagar District before 1022 A.D. is generally unknown; after that, records are available. Sagar was under the rule of Ahir Rajas and their capital was at Garhpehra. In 1660, Udenshah founded the present town of Sagar.{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YX1siOYKthgC&q=jabalpur+ahir&pg=PA13 | title=The Beria (Rai Dancers): A Socio-demographic, Reproductive, and Child Health Care Practices Profile | publisher=Sarup & Sons | date=2006 | access-date=15 October 2014 | author=Arun K.

After 1735, the city came under the rule of the Peshwas. When Chhatrasal gave a region (Subha) to Bajirao, he appointed Govindpant Kher (later Bundele) as an administrator. Govindpant founded the city of Sagar next to the Sagar Lake and made the city his capital. In 1818, a large part of the Sagar district was ceded by Peshwa Baji Rao II to the British East India Company. Administratively, the position of Sagar and the neighbouring territories underwent frequent changes.

The Saugor territory was first placed under the superintendent of Political Affairs of Bundelkhand. Later, in 1820, this area, called the 'Saugor and Nerbudda Territories,' was placed under the administration of an agent to the governor-general. The region fell under the North-Western Province, following its constitution in 1835. In 1842 occurred the Bundela rising, the quelling of which demanded more direct attention from the Governor-General. But the order was restored in the following year, and the Saugor and Nerbudda Territories were again placed under the political control of an Agent named to the Governor-General. The arrangement, however, was not found to be satisfactory, and these territories were once again restored to the North-Western Provinces in 1853. After that in 1861, the Saugor and Nerbudda territories and the Nagpur state formed a Commissioner's Province called Central Provinces.{{Cite web|url=http://sagar.nic.in/About/hist.html|title=History of Sagar|website=sagar.nic.in|access-date=17 May 2019|archive-date=23 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190523000254/http://sagar.nic.in/About/hist.html|url-status=live}}
