Pratapgarh State, also known as 'Partabgarh', was one of theprincely states ofIndia during the period of theBritish Raj. The state was founded in 1425 as Kanthal state and was later renamed after its capital located inPratapgarh, Rajasthan.

Pratapgarh was a 15gun salute princely state; its last ruler signed the accession to the Indian Union on 7 April 1949.^[1]

Maharana Kumbha ruledChittorgarh in the 14th century. Due to a dispute with his younger brother Kshemkarn he expelled him from his territory. Kshemkarn's family was refugee for some time and lived in theAravalli Range in the southern area of Rajasthan. In 1425 Kanthal state was founded. In 1514 Rajkumar Surajmal became the ruler ofDevgarh, and this raj later came to be known as Pratapgarh raj. As the environment of Devgarh was not found to be suitable by the royal family, one of the descendants ofRaja Surajmal, Rajkumar Pratap Singh started to build a new town near Devgarh in 1698 and named it Pratapgarh.^[2]

They had the right to a 15gun salute.^{[citation needed]}
