Around 900 years ago, in Vikram Samvat 1191 (Calendar year 1134), a king named “Jam Rata Raidhanji” was ruling the region of Kutchh. Raidhanji had four sons - Gheghaji, Gajanji, Hothiji and the youngest Kunwar Odhaji. Above all, Raidhanji's elder son, Gheghaji's residence was Tumbdi. Gheghaji was settled in the twelfth century, so it is assumed that the original Tumbdi was established then.

Hothi means the place of Shri Momaay Mataji, a clan goddess of Kshatriyas. It is said that when Moma Santan of Kutch was the head of the Jagir in 1565, the extent of the Jagir was up to Ashapura Mataji's temple to the west of Nani Tumbdi village. In front of it, a small lake was created by Khinyaroji during his time. Even today this lake is known as Khinya Ram. Khinyaroji performed lotus worship in Samvat 1602 and was succeeded by Kunwar Dhaluji as the head of the Jagir in Samvat 1603, and Oswal Vania as his steward. It is estimated that the Jains came to Kutch in Samvat 1550.

From the history of Savla Nukh, it is known that Jains have arrived in Tumbdi village three times in different ways. Due to disagreements between Oswal and some Hothis on some issues, Oswal brothers settled a new village near Tumbdi Jagir, thus our village Nani Tumbdi Toran was built. Premjibhai Dharshi Sangoi records that this village was founded in Samvat 1710 by Parekh and Bhedao, then came Malshi and Maiosha of Baua Nukh who today live in Patel Faliya as Malsiani family followed by Savla, Punshisha who live in Mota Faliya. After that Satiya, Kheda etc. nukhs came and Navagam was inhabited and came to be known as Nani Tumbdi.

When Barbhaya was ruling in Kutchh, Nani Tumbdi had seven village Garas. In which the Garasiyas of the villages used to fall as mentioned below. Jambudi, Nana Bandara, Big Bandara, Bigi Tumbi, Nani Tumbi, Naredi, and Mulia were the garas of Emsat village. The reputation of Oshwal Mahajan was high in the Raj of Barbhaya, the 'Ra' of Kutch who was tormenting the people of Kutch at that time, to free it from the increased religious activities, was freed by the Shah of Kutch Anjar, whose immortal saga is written in golden letters in the history of Kutch. At that time, Jalukada in Kutch Gangs were looting villages, damaging property, one such gang in our village took the help of Jogeshwar Dada, for protection as the steward of the jagir, the Jadejas settled in Nani Tumbdi in Samvat 1803. In Samvat 1832, with the consent of the Garasiya of Big Tumbdi, the temple of 'Momai Mataji' was established in the middle of Nani Tumbdi. In course of time Shri Tejmalji Champaji, the Garasdar of Nana Bandar, handed over his share of Garas to the Maharao of Kutch, and since then Nana Tumbi became popular with Ra'wali Tumbi.

In this small village of ours, there have been many people who have made big names in the society and through their reputation the name of the village has become famous. Sanghvi Shamji Bhawanji's name is still famous throughout Kutch. He was the headman (Patel) of Baavan village of the Kanthi division of the Kutchhi caste. He became the first Sanghpati of Kutchh from Tumbdi to Palitana chhari paalit sangh. Apart from this, the Sangh of Panch Tithi of Kutch was also organised. Even today 'Shamji Patelwali Tumbdi' is famous.

Jyotsnaben Momaya Shah, the first lady doctor of Kutchhi Samaj – is from Tumbdi. She was the pride of the village as a doctor who brought Gandhiji's ideals & principles to life, a simple life - thus serving the public, a supporter of the poor & needy people.
