''Ranigunj'' derives its name after Victoria Grain Market or Queen's Market. An arch at the entry to market still stands. The arch was the gateway to the market and was built in 1877 to commemorate the Queen Victoria's [[Delhi Durbar]] of 1877. The market today is no longer only a grain market but a popular market for hardware and tools.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://telanganatoday.com/ranigunj-arch-a-gateway-to-queens-market|title=Ranigunj arch – A gateway to Queen’s Market|publisher=Telangana Today|first=Avani Rao|last=Mummulla|date=2021-08-24|access-date=2024-10-16}}</ref> Some of the oldest markets in Secunderabad such as Regimental Bazaar and General Bazaar are located in Ranigunj.<ref name="NewIndExpMay"/><br />
