In 1679, a major portion of the Pataspur Pargana came under the control of Choudhury Murari Mohan Dasmohapatra through a special territorial endowment granted by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

Originally from Athgarh near Puri, he adopted the title of “Choudhury” and laid the foundation of administrative governance at Panchetgarh.

Panchetgarh later came under the Nawabs of Murshidabad and the Maratha Holkars of Indore. Royal authority was restored under Queen Ahilyabai Holkar.

In 1803, British rule introduced the Zamindari system under colonial governance.
