The royal family of Gohad traces its origin to Punjab or Haryana, from there the Bamrolia chiefs migrated to Agra and later their first Raja conquered territories in Bairat (south of Alwar), he was Rana Jai Singh who reigned in 12th century.

The most renowned ruler was Maharaja Bhim Singh Rana who established the Jat rule over the trans chambal region and historic Gwalior fort.

During his reign, the revenue of the kingdom was 56 lakhs and Bhim Singh Rana had control on 56 mahals or small parganas.

Later, jealous of the success of Jat Raja, Mahadaji Sindhia planned an attack to conquer Gwalior.

In 1782, he besieged Gwalior and bribed one of Maharani's trusted guards & prepared him to depart from Jat Raja along with 2000 troops.
