Cambay (Khambhat) State was a princely state in Gujarat, western India, ruled by a Muslim dynasty founded by Momin Khan in the early 18th century during the decline of Mughal power. With its capital at the important trading port of Cambay (Khambhat), the state came under British protection in the early 19th century and formed part of the Gujarat Agency. Its rulers bore the title Nawab, and Cambay remained a princely state until its accession to independent India in 1948.
