History
Antagarh is the last fortress falling in the erstwhile princely state of Bastar. The kings of Bastar used to come to this end of the princely state and take cognizance, thus the town used to serve as a King halt. Tehsil was established here by the British around the year 1900. After the bifurcation of Bastar district in 1998, it became a part of the Kanker district.
