From the beginning of old Kingdoms, Kadi province had existence on name “Kille Kadi”.
સલ્તનતકાળથી “કિલ્લેકડી” તરીકે કડી પ્રાંત અસ્તિત્વમાં હતો. When Gaikwad established his State in Vadodara, he was willing to choose Patan as a Capital of North Gujarat, but Patan was very far from Baroda, so he made ancient town “Kadi” as his Capital.
ગાયકવાડોએ તેમનું રાજય વડોદરામાં સ્થાપ્યુ ત્યારે ઉત્તર ગુજરાતમાં વહીવટ માટે રાજધાનીની પસંદગી પાટણ ઉપર ઉતારી. આ સ્થળ તેમને દૂર પડતુ હતુ તેથી તેઓએ ઉત્તર પ્રાંતના પ્રાચીન શહેર કડીને વડુ મથક બનાવ્યુ હતું. Economy
