Halar is a historical region of western India, located by the Arabian Sea coast on the northwestern area of Kathiawar in Gujarat state.
In 1901 it had an area of 19,365 km² and a population of 764,992 inhabitants.
History
The name of this historical region is of uncertain origin; even so there are sources that claim that Halar was first established with this name by Jam Shri Rawalji Lakhaji, a Jadeja Rajput, in 1540.[1]
During the British Raj Halar region became a prant or district of Kathiawar, belonging to the Bombay Presidency. At that time the region included numerous princely states belonging to the Kathiawar Agency, such as Nawanagar, Morvi, Gondal, Wankaner, Dhrol and Rajkot State.[2]
