Bageshwar has historically been a part ofKumaon Kingdom.Bageshwar was located adjacent toKartikeypura,the then capital ofKatyuri Kingsthat ruled over Kumaon in the 7th century.[15]After death ofBirdeothe last king of united katyuri kingdom. the kingdom disintegrated in the 13th century giving rise to 8 different princely states. Bageshwar region remained under the rule of Baijnath Katyurs descendants of Katyuri kings, till 1565 until king Balo Kalyan Chand ofAlmoraannexed the region toKumaon.[16][17]In the 10th century, the Chand dynasty was established by Som Chand.

In 1791, theGorkhasofNepalwhile expanding their kingdom westwards acrossKali River,invaded and overranAlmora,[26]the seat of the Kumaon Kingdom and other parts of Kumaon including Bageshwar. The Gorkhas were defeated by theEast India Company[27]inAnglo-Nepalese Warin 1814[28][29][30]and were forced to cede Kumaon to the British as part of theTreaty of Sugauliin 1816.[31]: 594 [32]
