History
The name "Beohari" stems from the title-prefix "Beohar", which signifies that the town was founded by a member of the Beohar dynasty. The Beohars were Rani Durgavati's prime ministers and knight-commanders, and Jagirdars of Jabalpur and their descendants continue to live there. The most notable of the Beohars is Sardar-Beohar Adhar Simha, who represented the Gond kingdom in Emperor Akbar's court, and the last Jagirdar of Jabalpur was Beohar Raghuvir Sinha. Different members of the Beohar lineage founded different settlements called Beohari, which are scattered in the Mahakoshal region of Madhya Pradesh.
Economy
Beohari is rich in mineral resources, including marble, iron ore, clay, sand and unexplored petroleum products. Beohari is economically rich and is politically active since Independence.
