| Adilabad District Map |
The Adilabad district was reigned by different dynasties - viz. Mauryas, Satvahanas, Chalukyas of Badami, Rashrakutas, Chalukyas of Kalyani, Yadvas of Devagiri, Kakatiyas, Bahamanis, Imad - Shahis of Berar, Nizam - Shahis of Ahmednagar , Mughals, Bhonsle Rajas of Nagpur and Asaf - Jahis besides the Gond Rajas of Sirpur and Chanda now Chandha is a maharastra (Chandrapur).
The history of Adilabad district is connected with the hoary past of the Gondvana and Vidarbha.The boundries of Gondvana were the River Godavari in the South, in the North the Central India up to the river Chambal, the Maharashtra State in the West and Triabl Agency areas in the East. Berar was probably extended over the Taluqs of Boath, Utnoor, Adilabad, Kinwat and Rajura. In the modern times, major portions of Berar and Gondavana, gradually merged into Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh states, while lower part came into erstwhile State of Hyderabad which consisted of parts of Karnataka, Marathawada and Telengana.
Though no direct evidence relating to history of periods of Mauryas, Sathvahanas and their successors Vatakas, Chalukyas, Rastrakutas is available, the region appears to have been under the sway of Bhoja Kings whom the epics and Kautilyas Arthashastra locate in the Deccan
