Historians are shedding light on how Nizamabad, the principal town of Nizamabad district, came to be known by its former name, ‘Indur’. Behind this name change lies a fascinating history. According to information provided by historians from Nizamabad and local residents, this region was referred to as ‘Indur’ from the medieval period. However, the name change occurred after it became part of the Nizam’s dominion in the 18th century.
Historical records indicate that the region of Indur began to be ruled by a Nawab named Nizam-ul-Mulk in 1724. During Nizam-ul-Mulk’s reign, this area was integrated into the Nizam’s kingdom. It was around this time that the town was renamed ‘Nizamabad’. The town was christened after the Nawab of the Nizam’s dominion, and the name gradually gained currency, causing ‘Indur’ to fade from common usage.
