==History==
In former times the area was known as Sedanti village, which was later renamed Shamsabad in reference to Shams-ul-Umra, the title bestowed upon "Abul Fateh Khan", Tegh Jung, Shams-ud-Daula, Shams-ul-Mulk and Shams-ul-Umrah ("The Sun among the Nobles"), who founded the [[Paigah family|Paigah]] nobility during the reign of [[Nizam]] II, Mir [[Nizam Ali Khan]] (1762-1803). There was a time when the whole of the Shamsabad area were under the direct control of [[Paigah family|Paigah]], including where the new airport has been built, the entire Shamsabad village was granted to Nawab Shams-ul-Umara Bahadur as a reward. Nawab Moin-ud-Daula Bahadur, a leading [[Paigah family|Paigah]] noble, built a country home on a hillock and race course in Shamsabad for his own. As happened with other locality names, Shamsabad too got corrupted and over the years came to be called Shamshabad.
