Chhatarpur was one of the princely states of India during the period of the British Raj. The state was founded in AD1785 and its capital was located in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh. Before that it was part of the Panna State. It is named after the Bundela Rajput leader Chhatrasal, the founder of Bundelkhand independence, and contains his cenotaph. The state was ruled by his descendants until AD1785. At that time the Ponwar clan of the Rajputs took control of Chhatarpur. The state was guaranteed to Kunwar Sone Singh Ponwar in AD1806 by the British Raj.  Chhatarpur's last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 1 January 1950AD.
