History
The area around present-day Nagar historically formed part of Bharatpur State, a Jat-ruled princely state centred on Bharatpur and Deeg during the 18th and 19th centuries.
After Indian independence the region was integrated into the state of Rajasthan and Nagar became a town in Bharatpur district.
On 7 August 2023 the Government of Rajasthan created Deeg district by bifurcating Bharatpur; Nagar tehsil, with its headquarters at Brij Nagar, was included in the new district.
Nagar falls under the Nagar Assembly constituency (constituency number 71) of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. The seat is part of Bharatpur district and is linked to the Bharatpur Lok Sabha constituency for national elections. As of the most recent 2023 election, the seat is held by Jawahar Singh Bedham of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
