History
The town is historically significant for the Battle of Singoli (1336), in which Rana Hammir Singh of Mewar defeated the forces of the Delhi Sultanate (Muhammad bin Tughlaq). Following this victory, the strategic fort was granted as a Thikana (feudal estate) to the Rajput commanders of the campaign. The descendants of these chieftains adopted the toponymic title 'Singholi' to signify their guardianship of the estate.[2][3]
