History
Historically situated in the fertile and strategic Godwad tract along the western slopes of the Aravalli Range, Bali emerged as a vital fortified outpost within the domain of Jodhpur State (Marwar), ruled by the Rathore dynasty. Long a contested frontier between the Sisodias of Mewar and the Rathores, the surrounding Godwad territory—including Bali and its prominent defensive fort—was formally incorporated into Marwar under Maharaja Bijay Singh in 1770 CE following an agreement with Maharana Ari Singh II of Mewar. Bali served as an indispensable administrative seat (pargana headquarters) and military stronghold, guarding the vital mountain defiles and trade corridors linking western Rajasthan with Gujarat until the thikana and its surrounding territories were integrated into modern Rajasthan following Indian independence in 1949.
