History
Dabhoi has presumably existed since at least the 6th century, since it is mentioned in the 6th-century Romaka Siddhanta|Romaka Siddhānta. It historically was an important pilgrim site for Hindus due to the Kalika temple and for Jains as well. It is also mentioned in several Jain works, such as Hemachandra's Yogartrevritti and Ramchandra's Vikramcharitra.
The town and its surroundings were under Chavda and later under Chaulukya rulers who built few buildings and temples from the ninth century.
The fortification of it is ascribed to the Chaulukya king of Gujarat, Jayasimha Siddharaja (1093-1143 AD), who made this his frontier fortress. The architectural style and the exquisite stone carving and iconography on the fort walls and gates suggest that it was conceived and constructed in the same period as Rudra Mahalaya and Zinzuwada Fort. It is mentioned as an important city in the Jain inscriptions of Girnar (VS 1288).
