==History== Much of history is not available, but being a part of Malwa, its history resembles the history of Malwa. From 1947 to 30 June 1998 it was in Mandsaur district, but after it has comes under Neemuch district due to formation of new district Neemuch. The town also has a big fort around 300 to 400 years old. this is called as Garhi of Jeeran. The Garhi of Jeeran was the site of a battle between the rebels under Shahzada Firoz Shah (sent to besiege the fort of Neemuch) and the contingent force stationed at Jeeran. Though the latter were defeated but the day was saved for the British by the timely arrival of colonel Durand and his men.
