Siba (Jagir) also known as DADA-SIBA came in picture when Maharaja Ranjit Singh gifted the 1/4th part of Siba State to Mian Devi Singh earlier deputed as Talukdar of Kotla,in Samvat 1830. He was cousin of Raja Gobind Singh and one of the helping hand of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh was defeated by Raja Ram Singh as HE re-capatured the SIBA FORT. Later on,Siba Jagir captured by the British Rulers, but little later, the titled of Jagirdar was re-granted to Bijai Singh son of Mian Devi Singh in 1958. Bijai Singh also declared himself as titled Raja of Siba(Jagir) but he was not recognised as Raja by the Viceroy of Lahore. After capturing the Datarpur State,the britishers linked Datarpur and Siba (Jagir) and to look after these two,they established a town named as Dada-Siba. Britishers also created Jai Singh son of Bijai Singh as Raja of Dada-Siba. Raja Jai Singh partially ruled over Siba (Jagir) i.e. Dada-Siba. After him, following are the titled rulers:
2. Raja Gajender Singh,
3. Raja Shyam Singh
4. Raja Harminder Singh

5. Raja Brijender Singh present title of Jagirdar(Raja) of Siba(Jagir).
