History
Idar was ruled by Rajputs. In 1924 it was made part of the Western India States Agency. It was transferred to the Rajputana States in the early 1940s. In 1949 it was dissolved and split between Sabar Kantha district and Mehsana district which were at that point in Bombay State. Both these districts were included in Gujarat when it was formed in 1960.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
