History
The district was created through administrative reorganization in 2013, when sections of the Kheda and Panchmahal districts were combined into a single region. This restructuring brought together previously separate communities under one administrative authority.
Culture

Practical
The district is connected to major Gujarat cities through an extensive network of regional roads and local highways. Travel between the various towns scattered across the region requires patience, as distances between settlements can be considerable.
Did you know?
