This article appears in Volume V03, Page 845 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BHAUNAGAR, or BHAVNAGAR , a native state of India in the Kathiawar agency, Bombay. Its area covers 286o sq. m. In 1901 the population was 412,664, showing a decrease of 12% in the decade; the estimated revenue is 255,800, and the
tribute
  10,300. The
chief
 , whose title is thakor sahib, is head of the famous clan of the Gohel Rajputs of Kathiawar. The enlightened
system
  of administration formed during the
rule
  of the thakor sahib maharaja Sir Takhtsinghji Jaswatsinghji, G.C.S.I., was continued with admirable results under the personal supervision of his son, the maharaja Bhausinghji, K.C.S.I. (b. 1895), and forms a model for other native states. The Gohel Rajputs are said to have settled in the
district
  about 126o. Bhaunagar suffered terribly from the
famine
  of 1899-1900. About 6o m. of the Bhaunagar-
Gondal
  railway run through the state, with its terminus at the town of Bhaunagar, which is the
principal
  port. The town of Bhaunagar is situated on the west
coast
  of the gulf of Cambay. The population in 1901 was 56,442. It is the
chief
  port in Kathiawar, though only admitting vessels of small burden. It was founded in 1723 by the thakor sahib Bhausinghji, after whom it is named, in place of his former
capital
 , Sihor, which was considered too exposed to the Mahratta power.
