Ballarpur Fort is the oldest area in Ballarpur.
It was built by Gond King Khandkya Ballal Sah in 13th century.
On the death of Gond king Surja alias Ser Sah, his son Khandkya Ballal came to the throne. This prince had tumours all over his body. He was looked after by his wise and beautiful wife. When no remedy could heal Khandkya she induced him to leave Sirpur and reside on the northern bank of the Wardha, where he erected a fort named Ballarpur. Khandkya Ballal thus founded Ballarpur.
Later he left Ballarpur and erected another fort in Chandrapur.
