**Bhopal district** (Hindi: भोपाल ज़िला, Hindi pronunciation: [\[bʱoːpaːl zɪlaː\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Hindi_and_Urdu)) is a [district](/source/List_of_districts_of_Madhya_Pradesh) of [Madhya Pradesh](/source/Madhya_Pradesh) state in central [India](/source/India). The city of [Bhopal](/source/Bhopal) serves as its administrative headquarters. The district is part of [Bhopal Division](/source/Bhopal_Division).

## History

Bhopal district was carved out of the erstwhile [Sehore District](/source/Sehore_district) of Bhopal division vide M.P.Govt. Notification No.2477/1977/Sa/One/ dated 13 September 1972.The district derives its name from the district head-quarters town Bhopal which is also the capital of Madhya Pradesh. According to the Imperial Gazetteer of India, Bhopal derives from "Bhoj Pal" named after the legendary founder of the city.[3]

The early history of the present-day district area is obscure. According to a legend, the area was part of *Mahakautar*, a barrier of dense forests and hills separating North India from South India. 10th century CE onwards, names of [Rajput](/source/Rajput) rulers (including [Bhoja](/source/Bhoja)) [Malwa](/source/Malwa) appear in the historical records. The number of Muslims rose after invasions by the [Delhi Sultanate](/source/Delhi_Sultanate) under [Iltutmish](/source/Iltutmish). In 1401, [Dilawar Khan Ghori](/source/Dilawar_Khan_Ghori) (father of [Hoshang Shah](/source/Hoshang_Shah)) took control of the territory, ruling from [Dhar](/source/Dhar).[4]

In the 14th century, a [Gond](/source/Gondi_people) warrior Yadoram established a kingdom headquartered at [Garh-Mandla](/source/Mandla). At the time of [Mughal](/source/Mughal_Empire) invasion of [Malwa](/source/Malwa_Subah) in 1561, the area was subdivided into territories known as *chakla*s. The present-day Bhopal district was part of the Ginnor chakla, which comprised 750 villages. The Gond warlord Nizam Shah controlled these villages from his fort of Ginnorgarh. After his death, the Afghan mercenary [Dost Mohammad Khan](/source/Dost_Mohammad_of_Bhopal) managed the state's affairs on behalf of his widow Kamlapati. After her death, Khan usurped the territory, and acquired neighbouring territories to establish the [Bhopal princely state](/source/Bhopal_State). He founded the town of [Islamnagar](/source/Islamnagar%2C_Bhopal), and also established the modern city of [Bhopal](/source/Bhopal).[4] His son Yar Mohammad Khan paid tribute to the [Marathas](/source/Maratha_confederacy). After his death, there was a war of secession between Sultan Mohammad Khan and [Faiz Mohammad Khan](/source/Faiz_Mohammad_Khan), during which the [Nawabs of Bhopal](/source/Nawab_of_Bhopal) had to cede some territories to the Marathas. Faiz was a religious recluse, and his step-mother [Mamola Bai](/source/Mamola_Bai) effectively ruled the state on his behalf. His successors maintained good relations with the [East India Company](/source/East_India_Company), which eventually came to rule India.[4]

Between 1819 and 1926, Bhopal was ruled by four female rulers, including [Shah Jahan Begum](/source/Shah_Jahan_Begum_of_Bhopal) and [Sultan Jahan, Begum of Bhopal](/source/Sultan_Jahan%2C_Begum_of_Bhopal). After independence of India, her son [Hamidullah Khan](/source/Hamidullah_Khan) expressed his wish to retain Bhopal as an independent unit, leading to public protests. On 30 April 1949, the Nawab relented and signed an [Instrument of Accession](/source/Instrument_of_Accession) to the [Dominion of India](/source/Dominion_of_India).[5] The state was taken over by Government of India on 1 June 1949, resulting in the formation of [Bhopal State (1949–56)](/source/Bhopal_State_(1949%E2%80%9356)).

After the [States Reorganisation Act](/source/States_Reorganisation_Act) of 1956, Bhopal state was integrated into the [Sehore district](/source/Sehore_district) of the newly formed state of [Madhya Pradesh](/source/Madhya_Pradesh). The Bhopal city was declared as the capital of Madhya Pradesh. On 26 January 1972, the Government of Madhya Pradesh announced that Bhopal would be made a separate district. The Bhopal district was officially carved out of the [Sehore district](/source/Sehore_district) on 26 November 1972.[4]
