The town Ahmednagar was founded in 1490 by [[Ahmad Nizam Shah I]] on the site of a more ancient city, [[Bhingar]]. With the breakup of the [[Bahmani Sultanate]], Ahmad established a new sultanate in Ahmednagar, also known as [[Ahmadnagar Sultanate|Nizam Shahi dynasty]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sohoni |first1=Pushkar |title=The Architecture of a Deccan Sultanate: Courtly Practice and Royal Authority in Late Medieval India |date=2018 |publisher=I.B.

It was one of the [[Deccan sultanates]], which lasted until its conquest by [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] emperor [[Shah Jahan]] in 1636. [[Aurangzeb]], the last Mughal emperor, who spent the latter years of his reign, 1681–1707, in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], died in Ahmednagar and is buried at [[Khuldabad]], near Aurangabad in 1707, with a small monument marking the site.

In 1759, the [[Peshwa]] of the [[Maratha]]s obtained possession of the place from [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] and in 1795 it was ceded by the Peshwa to the Maratha chief [[Daulat Rao Sindhia]]. Ahmednagar was besieged by a British force under [[Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquess Wellesley|Richard Wellesley]] and captured. It was afterward restored to the Marathas, but again came into the possession of the British in 1817, according to the terms of the [[Treaty of Poona]], and was known as '''Ahmednuggur'''.

In 19th century American christian missionaries opened first modern schools in the this town. According to a report there were four girl's school running under the superintendence of [[Cynthia Farrar]] around the 1850s.  [[Jyotirao Phule|Jyotiba Phule]] visited them and got inspired to open school for girls in Poona. Later he enrolled his wife Savitribai Phule in Farrar's school in a teacher's training program. Farrar was from America and spent his entire life in Ahmednagar running her schools, these girl's schools were one of the first such kind in the country.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cynthia Farrar — Missionary woman who inspired Jotirao Phule |date=28 January 2023 |url=https://thesatyashodhak.com/cynthia-farrar-missionary-woman-who-inspired-jotirao-phule/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
