History
The taluka was an offshoot of the Rajkot State, Jadeja dynasty. Dadaji Mehramanji, the second son of Mehramanji II of Rajkot State, was granted a patrimony of six villages in 1733. After Thakore Saheb Dadoji became the Talukadar of Kotharia, he organized a big party at Kotharia on the Birthday of the Yuvraj Saheb Ranmalji I of Rajkot, his elder brother. On that day Dadoji was given two more villages by Thakore Saheb of Rajkot. Virva and Vadali were bhayadi villages of Kotharia. Ronki was also at sometime acquired by Kotharia. This village was under the control of Rajkot during the monarchical period. The Darbargadh of that time is also located but now it is in ruins as there is no settlement there.
