It was under the central division of the Bombay Presidency, under the states of the Kolhapur-Deccan Residency, Satara Agency, and later the Deccan States Agency. Its capital was Phaltan town, located in present-day Maharashtra.
It had been one of the Satara Jagirs, which included Bhor, Aundh, Phaltan, Jath, Daphlapur and Akalkot. Its Flag was a rectangular bicolor, orange over green.

History


The Hindu ruling family was descended from Naik Nimbaji Parmar (1284–1291), whose descendants received a grant from a Delhi Sultanate emperor in the 14th century. The ruler had the title of Raja, or Naik Nimbalkar. The first wife, Sai Bai, of 17th century Maratha Emperor Shivaji, was from Phaltan. Major HH Raja Bahadur Shrimant Malojirao Mudhojirao Nanasaheb Naik Nimbalkar IV was the last Ruler of Phaltan.
In 1901, the state enjoyed revenue estimated at £13,000- and paid a tribute to the British Raj of £640. On June 19, 1947, Udaysinha Naik Nimbalkar Rajkumar, Prince of Phaltan, and his mother the Maharani of Phaltan were passengers on Pan Am Flight 121, crewed by Gene Roddenberry, which crashed in Syria. Phaltan acceded to the Dominion of India on 8 March 1948 and is currently a part of Maharashtra state.
