History
Asif Nagar was once a fortified town from Goshamahal to Golkonda Fort. At the beginning of Asaf Jahi rule, Mir Qamar-ud-din Khan Siddiqi (1671 – 1748) captured Golconda in 1724 from the Moghuls, and camped at a fort here, though his capital was at Aurangabad. Later it was renamed as Asif Nagar. He established the Hyderabad State and ruled it from 1724 to 1748. He is also known by his titles Chin Kilich Khan (awarded by Aurangzeb in 1690–91), Nizam-ul-Mulk (awarded by Farrukhsiyar in 1713) and Asaf Jah (awarded by Muhammad Shah in 1725).[4]
After the Nizam captured Golconda in 1724 from the Moghuls, he camped near the fort in a village. Later it was renamed Asifnagar.[5] A few structures consisting of Rajasthani-Mewar- style architecture, with jharokas, arches and stone nets have been found[6], indicating a its historic connection with other kingdoms during the time of Nizams.
