| The city's history dates back to around 890 CE, in a stone inscription found at the [[Nageshvara Temple, Begur|Nageshwara Temple]] in [[Begur, Bangalore]]. The Begur inscription is written in Halegannada (ancient Kannada), mentions 'Bengaluru Kalaga' (battle of Bengaluru). It was a significant turning point in the history of Bangalore as it bears the earliest reference to the name 'Bengaluru'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/1000-year-old-inscription-stone-bears-earliest-reference-to-Bengaluru/articleshow/17446311.cms|title=1000-year old inscription stone bears earliest reference to Bengaluru | Bengaluru News – Times of India|website=The Times of India}}</ref> In 1537 CE, [[Kempe Gowda I|Kempé Gowdā]] – a feudal ruler under the [[Vijayanagara Empire]] – established a [[Bengaluru Pete|mud fort]] considered to be the foundation of modern Bangalore and its oldest areas, or ''petes'', which exist to the present day.

| </ref> When [[Hyder Ali|Haider Ali]] seized control of the Kingdom of Mysore, the administration of Bangalore passed into his hands. It was captured by the [[British East India Company]] after victory in the [[Fourth Anglo-Mysore War]] (1799), who returned administrative control of the city to the [[Maharaja of Mysore]]. The old city developed in the dominions of the [[Maharaja of Mysore]] and was made capital of the [[Princely State of Mysore]], which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the [[British Raj]]. In 1809, the British shifted their [[Bangalore Cantonment|cantonment]] to Bangalore, outside the old city, and a town grew up around it, which was governed as part of [[British India]]. Following [[independence of India|India's independence]] in 1947, Bangalore became the capital of [[Mysore State]], and remained capital when the new Indian state of [[Karnataka]] was formed in 1956. The two urban settlements of Bangalore – city and cantonment – which had developed as independent entities merged into a single urban centre in 1949. The existing [[Kannada]] name, ''Bengalūru'', was declared the [[official name]] of the city in 2006.

| | |
| Bangalore is widely regarded as the "[[Silicon Valley]] of India" (or "IT capital of India") because of its role as the nation's leading [[information technology]] (IT) exporter.<ref name="cnn-Dec2012">
