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.
