One of the ancestors called Kaluji migrated to Malwa and captured the fort of Sabalgarh in 1285.

The Sixth son of Kaluji who was called Shardul Singh extended his domains and founded the village of Piploda.

During the rise of the Marathas in Malwa, Piploda was reduced to a great extent and fell under Jaora State during British rule.

Piploda became a separate state in 1924 due to the mismanagement of the Jaora nawabs who had a debt of 16 lakhs and couldn't pay back to the British.

[1] The last ruler acceded to the Government of India on 15 June 1948, and Piploda became part of Ratlam District of Madhya Bharat state.
