History of Kapren Fort:
The foundation of this Fort was laid in the 16th century A.D. by Maharao Anirudh Singh ji of Bundi to protect the State from the Ranthambhore front. The river Chambal which flows at a distance of 10 Km from the Fort was a major source of transportation in those days for the traders and this Fort served as a major point for the collection of revenue from the traders of Central India.
When Maharao Raja Umaid Singh ji became the ruler of Bundi, he gave Kapren with 27 other villages with the revenue of Rs. One Lakh to his younger brother Dip Singh ji in the year 1760 A.D. Dip Singh ji was granted the title of Maharajadhiraj by the Maharana of Mewar (Udaipur).
