Explorations and excavations at the surrounding areas of Luxettipet, Asifabad, Boath, Bhainsa and Nirmal yielded pre- and proto-historic remnants.[6]
Due to the districts re-organisation in October 2016, the district was carved out to form three new districts of Asifabad district, Mancherial district and Nirmal district.[1]
