Mewar Residency

Mewar Residency was a political subdivision of Rajputana Agency in British India.^[1] After treaty relations between Mewar and the East India Company commenced in 1818, the British government created a political sub-division known as Mewar Agency with its headquarters in Nimuch. In 1860–61, the headquarters were moved to Udaipur and, in 1881–82, the designation was changed from 'Agency' to 'Residency.'^[2] As of 1908, the Mewar Residency consisted of the four states of Udaipur, Banswara, Dungarpur, and Partabgarh,^[3] with headquarters in Udaipur.^[1]
