Baoni ( Kadaura ) was a princely state in the Bundelkhand region of British India .
The name comes from bāwan = 52 (villages). The principality was founded by the Muslim Imad al-Mulk Ghazi ad-Din, a grandson of Asaf Jah I , the first Nizam of Hyderabad , who in 1784 took the 52 villages between Kalpi and Hamirpur from the Peshwa of the Marathas as a fief. The British recognized his son as Nawab and Baoni was a British protectorate from 1806 to 1947 . The villages had a total area of 313 km² and 20,000 inhabitants (1901). The residence was in Kadaura .
On April 4, 1948, Baoni joined the Princely Union of Vindhya Pradesh , but was incorporated into the state of Uttar Pradesh on January 1, 1950 at the same time as the annexation to India, along with the other northern exclaves Bundelkhands . On November 1, 1956, all princely states were dissolved.
