Dahegam is a city and a municipality in the Gandhinagar district in the state of Gujarat, India.
==History== During 1257 AD, Gujarat was under the Khilji dynasty. Jafar Khan of the Tughlak dynasty had overpowered King Ram Ray Rathod of Idar. The Mughals took control of a majority of Gujarat during this period. Later, the Marathas administered the region during 1753 AD. Damaji Gaikwad is considered to be the most significant ruler. Dahegam taluka was founded in 1875 AD during Gaekwad rule and soon become a major political center in the area. It was conferred municipality or nagarpalika status in 1987 as a part of Ahmedabad district. When Ahmedabad district was halved in 1998, Dahegam became a part of Gandhinagar district.
