== History ==

=== Hyderabad Municipal Board (1869–1933) ===
In 1869, municipal administration was first introduced for the city of Hyderabad.<ref name="hy1">{{cite news |title=Birth and growth of Hyderabad municipal corporation |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2013/sep/16/birth-and-growth-of-hyderabad-municipal-corporation-517183.html |access-date=18 June 2022 |publisher=The New Indian Express |date=16 September 2013}}</ref> The city of Hyderabad was divided into four and the suburbs of Chaderghat were divided into five divisions. The whole management of both the city and the suburbs was handled by the then City Police Commissioner, Kotwal-e-Baldia.<ref name="ghmc.gov.in">{{Cite web |url=http://www.ghmc.gov.in/ |title=ghmc.gov.in |access-date=23 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090101030345/http://ghmc.gov.in/ |archive-date=1 January 2009 |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref>

=== Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (1933–2007) ===
In 1933, Chaderghat Municipality was merged with Hyderabad Municipality to form Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and was given statutory status under the Hyderabad Municipal Act. During the following year (1934), the first elections were held for Municipal Corporation and a Standing Committee was appointed at that time.<ref name="ghmc.gov.in" />

In 1937, Jubilee Hills Municipality was formed by the amalgamation of Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills. Later, in 1942, the corporation status for the city was removed. In the year 1945, Secunderabad Municipality was formed. Again in 1950, Hyderabad regained its lost Corporation status along with the amalgamation of Jubilee Hills Municipality.

The Hyderabad Corporation and the Secunderabad Corporation, were established in 1950 via the Hyderabad Corporation Act. Jubilee Hills Municipality merged in Hyderabad Corporation during this time.<ref name="ghmc.gov.in" /> In 1955, the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act merged the [[municipal corporation]]s overseeing Hyderabad and neighbouring Secunderabad.

Once again in 1955, both the municipal corporations of Hyderabad and Secunderabad were merged to form Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH). In 1956, Hyderabad became capital of Andhra Pradesh after the state was formed.

=== Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (2007–2025) ===
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation was formed on 16 April 2007 by merging 12 municipalities and 8 gram panchayats with the [[Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad]]. The municipalities are [[L. B. Nagar]], [[Gaddi Annaram]], [[Uppal Kalan]], [[Malkajgiri]], [[Kapra]], [[Alwal]], [[Quthbullapur]], [[Kukatpally]], [[Serilingampally]], [[Rajendranagar]], [[Ramachandrapuram, Medak district|Ramachandrapuram]], and [[Patancheru]]. These municipalities are in [[Rangareddy district]] and [[Medak district]]. The panchayats are [[Shamshabad]], Satamarai, Jallapalli, Mamdipalli, Mankhal, Almasguda, Sardanagar and Ravirala.

The Government Order 261 was initially issued in July 2005. Now, the Supreme Court has rejected the plea to interfere into the matter, the Andhra Pradesh government has passed the GO 261 that is related to the creation of Greater Hyderabad on 16 April 2007. Earlier, the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad had a population of 45 lakhs living in an area of 172 km2. The new urban agglomeration sprawls across {{convert|625|km2|sqmi}} with a population of 67 lakhs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/New-geographical-map-of-Hyderabad-released/articleshow/45543021.cms|title=New geographical map of Hyderabad released|website=[[The Times of India]] |date=17 December 2014 }}</ref> The erstwhile city of the Nizams has now transformed into an area far greater.

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) comprises the limits of the erstwhile Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad (MCH) along with 10 municipalities and 8 panchayats in erstwhile [[Ranga Reddy district]] and 2 municipalities in erstwhile [[Medak district]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/greater-hyderabad-formed-107041801041_1.html|title=Greater Hyderabad formed}}</ref> Secunderabad cantonment does not come under purview of GHMC.

There will also be a separate engineering wing with an Engineer in Chief and Chief Engineer at head office level and a superintending engineer for each zone; a town planning wing with Additional Commissioner (Planning) and a Chief City Planner at the head office level and a city planner for each zone.
