Panna National Park was created in 1981. It was declared a Project Tiger Reserve by the Government of India in 1994. The National Park consists of areas from the former Gangau Wildlife Sanctuary created in 1975. This sanctuary comprised territorial forests of the present North and South Panna Forest Division to which a portion of the adjoining Chhatarpur forest division was added later. The reserved forests of the Park in the Panna district and some protected forests on the Chhatarpur side were the hunting preserves of the erstwhile rulers of Panna, Chhatarpur, and Bijawar princely states in the past.

• In 1975, the Gangu Wildlife Sanctuary was created from the territorial forests of the existing North and South Panna division. Later parts of the associated Chhatarpur Forest Division were included in this sanctuary.
