History
The Ruling family of Virpur descends from the Nawanagar House. Jam Vibhaji I of Nawanagar had four sons of whom Bhaniji, the second son received Kalawad and eleven other villages in appanage. According to Colonel J.W. Watson, the village of Kharedi is said to have been included in the appanage but owing to some dispute with the parent State, Bhanji renounced all claims to the Giras and accepted a subordinate position under the Mahomedan Thanadar of Kharedi, which was then infested with gangs of marauding Kathis. His assistance to the Thanadar in the expulsion of these freebooters obtained for him a grant of one-half of Kharedi lands from the thanadar. Mokaji, the seventh in descent from Bharoji, moved to Virpur from Kharedi and repaired the old Fort of the New Capital. Virpur, a Fourth Class State, formerly in Kathiawad in pre-Independence India, follows the rule of Primogeniture in regard to succession and exercises the jurisdictional powers as follows: Criminal - Seven year's rigorous imprisonment and fine to the extent of 10,000Rs, Civil - to the extent of 20,000Rs.
