Nandurbar is a part of Satpuda Pradesh, meaning Seven Hills Region. The district was part of the district with Dhule and Jalgaon till July 1998. The ancient name of this region is Rasika, when Nandurbar was also called Nandanagri after the name of its king Nandaraja. [4]
The district is also rich with mythological accounts of the Ramayana, where the region is referred to as 'Krushik'.
The region is linked to various rulers of the time including bhil, Chalukyas, Vartakas and Yadavas.
Prior to Mughal era, formed the southern boundary of the Tughlaq Empire.
In the Jadavrao Era Yaduvanshi[ disambiguation needed] rulers, Nandurbar became Part of West Khandesh in 1400s.
1400s to 1700s Shinde's became Rao of west Khandesh under Jadhavrao Rulers of Khandesh :-
The Shinde/Scindia ( Sarpatils) of Khandesh. [5] [6] [7] Who came from Amirgarh (Present in Rajasthan) as Rao of West Khandesh in and 14th century. In past they are Rai Amirgarh and ancestors of Sindh's Royal Family. They control Khandesh from Laling fort and Dhanur & Dhule Towns. In 1600s Jadhavrao lost ruling power against Mughal but after some time later Rao Shinde recaptured Khandesh with the help of Maratha Empire. In end of 1600s they came under Maratha Empire led by Chhatrapati Sambhaji and after some year later they lost the Administrative and Ruler power against Mughal Empire led by Aurangzeb in war.
Due to its strategic location at the ends of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, Nandurbar kept shifting into different power regimes. After the Mughal Empire's decline, the Marathas took control of Khandesh and subsequently on 3 June 1818 the Maratha Peshwa surrendered Khandesh to the British rule.
Nandurbar had its own share in the Indian struggle for independence. It was here that during the Quit India Movement of 1942 Shirish Kumar, a mere boy of 15 years, lost his life by a gun shot. A small memorial has been erected in memory of Shirish Kumar in the square where he shed his blood.
