Telangana region of Hyderabad State consisted of 8 Districts in 1948 when it was inducted in Dominion of India; they are Hyderabad, Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Adilabad, Karimnagar and Warangal districts.[2] Khammam district was created by bifurcation of Warangal district on 1 October 1953.[3] Andhra Pradesh was formed by merging Telangana region of Hyderabad State and Andhra state on 1 November 1956. Bhadrachalam division and Aswaraopet taluka parts was merged in Khammam district from Godavari districts for better Administration.[3] Hyderabad district was split into Hyderabad Urban District and Hyderabad Rural District on 15 August 1978. Hyderabad Urban District was made by 4 Talukas are Charminar, Golkonda, Mushirabad and Secunderabad Talukas which consist of only MCH area, Secunderabad cantonment and Osmania University. Hyderabad rural district was later renamed as Ranga Reddy District.[4]

On 2 June 2014, when Telangana was carved out as India's 29th state with 10 districts from then Andhra Pradesh state, seven mandals of Bhadrachalam division were given back to East Godavari district.[5][6] On 11 October 2016, 21 new districts were created, which led to total 31 districts in Telangana. All districts were divided into minimum 2 to maximum 5 except Hyderabad district which was untouched.[7] Two new districts, Mulugu and Narayanpet were created on 17 February 2019, taking the total number of districts to 33.[8]
