HISTORY
Upon reorganization of states in 1956, the district
of Nanded came to comprise six talukas namely Kandhar, Hadgaon,
Biloli, Degloor, Mudhol whereas Mukhed and Bhokar were called Mahals
(revenue head quarters). As a result of reorganization of states,
Bichkunda, Jukkal villages of Degloor taluka as well as , the whole
of Mudhol Taluka (excluding Dharmabad)were merged with Nizamabad
district of Andhra Pradesh. In lieu of them, Kinwat and Islapur
villages were separated from Adilabad district and made part of
Nanded district again. Islapur village was combined with Kinwat
taluka and Dharmabad came to be merged with Biloli taluka. Even
though Nanded is mentioned in historical accounts since 4th century
A.D., the evidence of human habitation in this area has been found
for the past 40 to 50 thousand years. Standing on the bank of the
holy river Godavari, this place boasts of a rich history. Though
its ancient inhabitants are thought to have made several intellectual
advancements, they did not leave any account of their achievements
(perhaps this may be attributed to Indian's general attitude of
anonymity). Politically Nanded district forms part of the eastern
border of Marathwada while Nizamabad, Medak and Adilabad Districts
of Andhra Pradesh occupy its eastern border and Bidar district of
Karnataka falls on its southern side. The Parbhani and Latur districts
of Marathwada are on its western side. Yeotmal district of Vidarbha
occupies its northern side. Just as the effect of continuous association
is clearly discernible on a person so also it is reflected in the
behavioral pattern of the people of a region. The impact of Andhra,
Karnataaka and Vidarbha can therefore be seen on the language, behaviour
and general conduct of the people of Nanded.
