History of Secunderabad


History of Secunderabad reveals that the city had been an important base for the British army at the beginning of the 19th century. Secunderabad and Hyderabad are known as twin cities as they are located next to each other. Therefore, the history remains almost the same for both the cities.

History of Secunderabad begins from about 12th century, when the city was founded. The city showcases some beautiful pieces of architecture from those times, which are major attractions to the people even in the present day. Jeedimetla Industrial Area, Begumpet, Marredpalli, Bolarum, Trimulgherry and Sanathnagar are some of the major towns near Secunderabad.

Secunderabad History is quite similar to that of Hyderabad, as the cities were formed together. A man-made lake, known as Hussain Sagar, divides the two cities. History of Secunderabad can be traced back to the medieval period. The area was earlier known as Golconda, which was popular for its steel, diamond and printed cloth production. This led to the business development of Secunderabad with Europe and Asia. Aurangzeb, the famous Mughal ruler, had great control over this city.
