Since the first Indian general elections in 1952,  the [[Aurangabad, Bihar Lok Sabha constituency|Aurangabad Lok Sabha Constituency]], which forms a part of Aurangabad district has elected Member of Parliament from Rajput caste only. Other family clans represented in Aurangabad include the Mauryans, Guptas and the Gahadavalas (locally spelt “Gadhwal, Gaharwal in Bihar”).

In ancient times, Aurangabad was located in the [[Mahajanapadas|Mahajanapada kingdom]] of Magadh (1200 – 322 BCE). The ancient rulers of the town included [[ Bimbisara]] (late 5th century BCE), [[Ajatashatru]] (early 4th century BCE), [[Chandragupta Maurya]] (321 – 298 BCE) and [[Ashoka]] (268 – 232 BCE).

During the rule of [[Sher Shah Suri]] (1486 – 1545 CE), Aurangabad became strategically important as part of the Rohtas Sirkar(district). After the death of Sher Shah Suri Aurangabad fell under the rule of Akbar. The [[Afghan (ethnonym)|Afghan]] upsurge in the area was suppressed by [[Todar Mal]]. Some elements of Afghan architecture remain.

After the downfall of the [[Mughal Empire]], Aurangabad was ruled by the zamindars. the wealthy landowners, including those of [[Deo (clan)|Deo]], [[Kutumba]], Mali, [[Pawai]], Chandragarh, and Siris. The zamindars resisted British rule. For example, Fateh Narayan Singh of Deo, descendent of Shakti Singh, supported [[Kunwar Singh]] against the British.

In 1865, Bihar District was separated from [[Patna District]]. Aurangabad was made a subdivision of Bihar district. Stement was the first subdivisional officer of Aurangabad subdivision. The first Member of Parliament from the district was the former Chief Minister of Unified Bihar, [[Satyendra Narayan Singh]] (Chhote Saheb).

On 26 January 1973, Aurangabad district, Bihar was created (government notification number 07/11-2071-72 dated 19 January 1973). K. A. H. Subramanyam was the first district magistrate and Surjit Kumar Saha was the sub-divisional officer.  This district has remained a hotbed of Dalit assertion as a part of Naxalite-Maoist insurgency. It has also witnessed caste wars between the Rajput landlords and [[Dalit]]s, the latter were led in this struggle by the peasant [[caste]]s like [[Koeri]] and [[Yadav]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/national/end-of-a-dynasty-in-chittorgarh-of-bihar-728009.html|title=End of a dynasty in 'Chittorgarh of Bihar'|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220612163248/https://www.deccanherald.com/national/end-of-a-dynasty-in-chittorgarh-of-bihar-728009.html|archive-date=12 June 2022 |website=[[Deccan Herald]]|date=10 April 2019 |accessdate=12 June 2022}}</ref>
