During the period around 12th century AD, Rao Deva, a Hada Chieftain conquered the territory and founded Bundi and Hadoti. In the early 17th century AD, during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir, the ruler of Bundi, Rao Ratan Singh, gave the smaller principality of Kota to his son, Madho Singh. Since then Kota became a hallmark of the Rajput gallantry and culture. In Pre-Independence days social activist Guru Radha Kishan worked here along with other prominent freedom fighters and organised people against the government's policies. He left Kota after the local administration learned of the arrest warrant issued against him for his activities for freedom movement.
