History

Founded by Raja Veerraj Judeo when he seized the fort of Naro from the Teli Rajas in 1344. Until the 18th century, the state was known as Unchahara from the name of its original capital. When the British became paramount after the treaty of Bassein of 1820, Nagod was held to be a tributary to Panna and was included in the sanad granted to that state in 1807. In 1809, however, a separate sanad was granted to Lal Sheoraj Singh confirming him in his possessions.
