In the 1960s and early 1970s, the gardens of the Bangalore Palace (a summer home of the [[Wodeyar]] dynasty of [[Mysore]]) were converted into a residential neighborhood, and this was when the first lots in Sadashivnagar were purchased. Until the 1990s, Sadashivnagar was known as "Palace Orchards," as it was built in the former royal grounds. It was renamed in honor of [[Karnad Sadashiv Rao|Karnad Sadashiva Rao]], a freedom fighter and philanthropist.

Along with the adjacent older, neighborhood of [[Malleswaram]], the atmosphere in Sadashivanagar is Old Bangalore and therefore somewhat different from Bangalore's customary stereotype as a young, modern, and contemporary city. The majority of the residents come from old families and try to preserve tradition and heritage. Until the mid-2000s, it was the custom in Sadashivanagar to shun ostentatious displays of wealth and cultivate unassuming, modest manners. This culture is typical of old Bangalore society.
