Siba State, later known as Dada-Siba, was a small independent Indian hill state in the Lower Himalayas.[1] It was centered on the town of Dadasiba, Pragpur tehsil, Kangra district, in modern-day Himachal Pradesh. The state was founded in ca.1450.[1] In 1849 the territory of Datarpur was added to Siba Jagir (1/3 part of land of Mian Devi Singh) and annexed by the British Raj as 'Dada-Siba'.[2][1]
