==History==
Morwada was formerly a Turkic state and was conquered by the Chavod Rajputs from the Turks. The Chavod Rajputs are said to have been conquered from them by the Vaghela Rajputs, who were driven out by Visaldeva, a descendant of Lunaji Vaghela of Tharad, in (1535). There is a Jain temple in the village. The idols are said to be about 2200 years old (according to Maharaj). It was ruled by the Vaghela family of Tharad, a descendant of Visaldeva, until India's independence.[1] Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Cutch, Palanpur, and Mahi Kantha |1880 |page=338}}
