The town on the shore of the Sabarmati increased to it soon and a city wall was set up with twelve gates around it. During this time, the trade flourished with textiles which were exported to Europe. The armies of Raghunath Rao and Damadschi Gaekwad conquered the town later and sealed the end of the power of the Moguln over Ahmedabad so. A famine and the common power of Paeshwa and Gaekwad were almost the decline of the town. It was taken on by the British East India company 1818.
