The Baunbai, who initially came from Sind, were the ruling family of Bildi state. The native rulers of the state held the title of Talukdar and the style of Vahivatdar. According to the Attachment Scheme of 1943, the princely state of Bildi was attached to the princely state of Baroda in May 1943.
After the partition of India on 15th August 1947, the former native state was acceded to the newly independent Union of India.
