In 1857 during the [[Sepoy Mutiny]] there was a rebellion led by [[Surendra Sai]] of the Sambalpur ruling family, later rennownedrenowned as 'Veer' (hero) Surendra Sai. The mutineers broke open the prison at [[Hazaribagh]], where Surendra Sai was imprisoned and released all the prisoners. Surendra Sai fought against the British after reaching Sambalpur, eventually surrendering when the British suppressed the rebellion. In 1858 when Sambalpur was put under British administration it initially became part of the [[Cuttack]] division of the [[Bengal Presidency]], but was transferred to the [[Central Provinces]] in 1862.<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Sambalpur |volume=24 |page=113}}</ref>
