Buldhana District

Buldhana District

History:

In 1853, the entire district was placed under the control of the East India Company. Berard was divided into East Berard and West Berard, and the Buldana district was included in West Berard. In 1903, Berard was leased to the British Government of India by the Nizam of Hyderabad. Therefore, Berard became part of the Chubu region. In 1950, it became part of Madhya Pradesh, whose capital is Nagpur. In 1956, along with other Marathi-speaking regions of Vidarbha, it became part of the newly established Maharashtra province in 1960. The name of the district is probably derived from Bhil Thana (the location of the tribal group Bhils).
