Ardoi was granted in appanage from Gondal State to Sangoji, founder of the Kotda Sangani estate, in about 1654-65 AD. Before this it was the original seat of the chieftain of Gondal. But when he acquired Gondal he moved his capital to there from Ardoi. The village has a tower on its eastern side.[1]
