History
This agency was formed in the 19th century as the Khandesh Agency, after the region of Khandesh, becoming the Surat Agency in 1880.[2] Around 1900, the Dangs were incorporated, and in 1933, it was abolished and became part of the Baroda and Gujarat States Agency.
In 1944, towards the end of the British Raj, the Baroda and Gujarat States Agency was ultimately merged with the Western India States Agency to form the larger Baroda, Western India and Gujarat States Agency.
The headquarters of the Surat Agency were at Surat, where the Political Agent who reported to the Political Department office in Bombay, used to reside.[3]
States
The agency included three 9-gun salute princely states and the Dangs.[1]
