Hyderabad was founded in 1590 and built by Muhammad Quli, the fifth king of the dynasty Qutbshahi. The rule of the Nizams lasted not only between the years 1724 to 1948, but is also concerned a large territory with diverse language groups. The State of Hyderabad extended from Narmada, Machilipatnam,Trichinapally and Bijapur in Asaf Jah I. During the period of Afzal-ud-Daula (AD 1857-1869), an estimated 95.337 sq.miles, which was over 450 miles in each direction. AfterNizam Asaf Jah, died in 1748, there was a struggle for power between his son, Nasar Jung, and his grandson Muzaffar Jung. The British supported Nasar Jung whereas Muzaffar Jung got support from the French. These two heirs were subsequently killed by Nawabs of Kurnool and Cuddapah in 1750 and 1751, respectively. The third son of Nizam , salabat Jung became the ruler as Nizam.
The hostilities continued in India between the French and English in 1758 at the outbreak of Seven Years War in Europe in 1756. As a result, the French lost their power in India and therefore, the French also lost their influence in Hyderabad. Nizam Ali Khan (Nizam II) salabat evicted Jung and proclaimed himself as Nizam in 1762. The Nizam II moved the capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad Deccan in 1763. Nizam's sovereignty had declined considerably in the late 18th century and was forced to sign six treaties with the British.
The British agreed to present Nizam Ali Khan, with a force when necessary and pay Rs. 9 lakhs when troops are not required, in exchange for the Northern Circars in 1766. He signed a new treaty to give Northern Circars to the British and British-payment was reduced to Rs.7 lakhs in 1768. He also signed another treaty, which gave the circar Guntur in 1788. The Nizam conspired with Hyder Ali of Mysore and the Peshwa of the Marathas to drive away the British. The English learned about their designs and marched against the Nizam, who had to sue for peace by accepting the presence of the British army, artillery and cavalry in Hyderabad. The Nizam was forced to disassociate himself from Hyder Ali through another treaty. He signed another treaty with the British altering the earlier treaties to increase the strength of the English army in Hyderabad in 1800. The Nizam had to give the company an area comprising the districts of Rayalaseema and Bello, rather than the cost of maintaining the force. The Nizam lost not only the territory but also reputation and power.
The Telugu land was divided into major divisions: one that became popularly known as Telangana under the feudal rule of the Nizam, which represents approximately one third of all land and another broadly designated as Andhra, India Britain. The English cantonment, raised in the other side of Hussain Sagar, was named after Nizam III - Sikandar Jah (1803-1829 AD) and Secunderabad. The Afzal Gunj Bridge or Nayapul on the Musi River was built and set up a General Hospital under the rule (AD 1857-1869) of Nizam V, Afzal-ud-Daula.
The modern era of the evolution of the twin cities began soon after the last flood in the river Musi in 1908. The flood has destroyed the lives of many people living in Hyderabad. Mr. M.Vishweshwarayya, the great engineer of Mysore, was named special adviser to the Nizam's Government to suggest measures for flood control and improvement of the city. Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar were constructed as a result of his suggestion in 1917. These two dams not only control flooding but also supplies drinking water to the city. Another important step in the development of the city was the formation of the Board of Improvement of the City in 1912, which is set in the construction of roads, markets, housing sites and shopping malls in the city. The seventh Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, King kothi moved to the northern suburb of the city in 1914, which helped in the development of their environment. Several utilities were commissioned in 1922, including electricity (AD 1923), rail connection to Bangalore (AD1928) and the shuttle bus (AD 1932). Bus routes radiated from the capital to all district headquarters in 1936. The Madras-Karachi service air was linked to Hyderabad Hakimpet as facilities for the landing in 1935. Under the rule of Nizam VII, many buildings were built. These include the Legislative Assembly, Hyderabad and Secunderabad railway stations, the High Court, City University, the Library Asafia, Unani Hospital and Osmania University. The seventh Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, may be called as the maker of modern Hyderabad. The buildings constructed during his reign are impressive and represent a rich variety of architecture. Examples are the magnificent Osmania University, Osmania General Hospital's extensive in the Mughal style, the High Court in Indo-Saracenic style elevated, majestic and well-proportioned Legislative Assembly building in Saracenic-Rajasthani style. The Falaknuma, built by Nawab-ul-Umra Viquar a Paigha in 1892 AD. Noble has become a landmark like Charminar.
