Situated on the Chambal River, Tours to Kota is a city whose history can be traced back to 12th century A.D. when the Hada Chieftain, Rao Deva appropriated the territory and founded Bundi and Hadoti. However in the early 17th century A.D during the rule of Jahangir, the Mughal Emperor, Rao Ratan Singh, who used to rule over Bundi, gifted the smaller principality of Tours to Kota to his son and successor Madho Singh. Kota became a part of the British Empire during the first quarter of the nineteenth century and later when India became independent it became a part of the state of Rajasthan.
