Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Jubbal was originally tributary to Sirmur, but after the Gurkha War it became independent. The Rana misgoverned the State, and in 1832 abdicated in favour of the British Government, but soon, however, repented, and in 1840 the State was restored to him. His grandson, Padam Chand, ruled the State with ability from 1877 till his death in 1898, and was succeeded by Gyin Chand, the present Rana, who is a minor. The State is now under the management of a British official. The ruling family is by caste Rathor Rajput. The State contains 84 villages, including Deorha, its capital, and has an estimated revenue of nearly Rs. 1,52,000. The chief products are grain, tobacco, and opium.
