Kumher is also the birthplace of the illustrious Arya Samaji Vedic and Ayurvedic scholar, Pt.

In 1754, when Maharaja Surajmal of Bharatpur was the king, the fort at Kumher was sieged by the Marathas as Peshwa Balaji Baji Rao's younger brother Raghoba (supported by chieftains Scindias and Holkars) wanted Surajmal to be subservant to them.

In 1754, on behest of Mughal Emperor Alamgir II, Khanderao laid the seize of Kumher fort of Jat Maharaja Suraj Mal of Bharatpur State who had sided with Alamgir's adversary Siraj ud-Daulah.

Marathas (particularly Scindias and Holkars) signed a treaty with Surajmal and withdrew their army.
