&lt;br /&gt;
== Etymology ==&lt;br /&gt;
The name Jangaon evolved from &amp;quot;jain gaon&amp;quot;, which means &amp;quot;village of [[Jainism|Jains]]&amp;quot;, a religion of India.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telanganatourism.gov.in/partials/about/31-districts-of-telangana.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; [[Kolanpak]] (kulpak) in the [[Nalgonda district]], which is about {{Convert|20|km|miles}} from Jangaon, is a famous pilgrimage centre for Jain people and it has much historical background.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thehansindia.com/posts/index/Hans/2016-12-14/Sculptures-of-Jain-Tirthankaras-found-near-Jangaon/268612&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Jain]] Thirthankara sculptures that were found in the excavations near the town revealed the existence of [[Jainism]] in the [[Megalith]]ic age.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;jainism&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Jain sculptures of Vedic times found in Telangana|url=http://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/in-other-news/181216/jain-sculptures-of-vedic-times-found-in-telangana.html|access-date=6 April 2017|work=Deccan Chronicle|date=18 December 2016|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jangaon was the second capital region of the [[Kalyani Chalukyas]] in the 11th century. One of the most acclaimed Telugu poets of all time [[Bammera Pothana]] was born in the village of Bammera in Jangoan in 1450 AD. After the demise of the Nayaks 50-years rule, this region came under the [[Kakatiya dynasty]] from 1195 to 1323, before transferring to the [[Khalji dynasty]] of [[Delhi Sultanate]] under [[Alauddin Khalji|Ala-ud-din Khalji]] rule. The region was part of the [[Bahmani Sultanate]] and then the [[Golkonda|Sultanate of Golconda]] [[Qutb Shahi dynasty]] in 1512. The [[Aurangzeb|Mughal emperor Aurangzeb]] conquered [[Golconda]] in 1687 and it remained part of the Mughal empire. [[Qamar-ud-din]] Khan [[Asaf Jah I]] declared sovereignty in 1724 and established the [[Asaf Jahi Dynasty]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1854 the Jangaon area was under the administrative region of [[Bhongir|Bhonagheer Circars]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/MedduckGolcondah-pharoah-1854|title=1854 Pharoah and Company Map of the Hyderabad, Sangareddy and Nalgonda Districts of Telangana, India}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Jangaon is mentioned as Zungaon in an 1854 map. In 1866 new districts were created; all Circars were delimited and merged. Bhonagheer, Davercondah and Nelgoondah Circars merged to form Nalgonda District but the Jangaon area was transferred from Bhongir Circar to Warangal District in 1866, Cherial was renamed Taluka by adding some parts of Wardannapet region, with its headquarters at Jangaon.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google.co.uk&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zXBB1nZYoLIC&amp;amp;pg=PA121|title=Hyderabad State|first=Ghulam|last=Yazdani|year=1937|publisher=Atlantic Publishers &amp;amp; Distri|via=Google Books}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1905 the  [[Hyderabad State|Princely state of Hyderabad]] was sub-divided into four divisions; [[Aurangabad Division]], [[Gulbarga Division]], [[Medak Gulshanabad Division|Gulshanabad Division]] and [[Warangal Division]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;gwmc.gov.in&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.gwmc.gov.in/knowyourcorporation.aspx|title=Know Your Corporation}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;books.google.co.uk&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Districts were delimited in 1905; Jangaon (Cherial), Taluka and Kodar (Kodad). Taluka was transferred to Nalgonda District from Warangal district.  Hyderabad State was annexed to the [[Dominion of India]] by [[Indian annexation of Hyderabad|operation polo]] in 1948, and became an Indian state. In 1948 Jangaon taluka was part of Nalgonda district in [[Medak Gulshanabad Division|Gulshanabad Division]] of [[Hyderabad State (1948–56)|Hyderabad State]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1953, there was a shuffling of areas, shifting some villages from one taluka to the other. Subsequently, when [[Warangal district]] was divided to facilitate administrative control and on 1 October 1953, [[Khammam district]] was formed.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;gwmc.gov.in&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Khammam, Yellandu, Madhira, Burugunpahad and Palavancha talukas have been made part of it. Warangal, Mulugu, Mahabubabad, Pakala (Narsampet) remained in Warangal district. But again Parkaala from [[Karimnagar district]] and Jangaon taluka from [[Nalgonda district]] have become part of Warangal district living back Nalgonda, Miryalguda, Deverkonda, Bhongir, Ramannapet, Suryapet, and Huzurnagar to Nalgonda district. After these changes in 1953, few villages of Jangaon taluka went to [[Medak district]] and some remained in Nalgonda district.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the reign of [[Marri Chenna Reddy]] in 1979, Jangaon taluka was split into [[Cherial, Warangal|Cherial]], [[Kodakandla]] and Jangaon talukas, at that time Jangaon taluk consist of 7 Circles namely Jangaon, Cherial, Rebarthi, Narmetta, Ippaguda, Chennur and Kodakondla Cirles. In 1985, when [[N. T. Rama Rao]] introduced the mandal system, Jangaon taluka was further divided in to [[Jangaon Mandal]], [[Raghunathpalle]], [[Lingalaghanpur]] and [[Devaruppula]] [[mandals]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i4pvVOd2L0cC&amp;amp;q=kodakondla+taluk+created&amp;amp;pg=PA214|title = Land and people of Indian states and union territories : (In 36 volumes). 2.

&lt;br /&gt;
On 11 October 2016  Jangaon was made the district headquarters, along with 21 newly formed districts in Telangana. Warangal district was divided in to Five districts are [[Warangal Urban district]], [[Warangal Rural district]], [[Jangaon district]], [[Jayashankar district]] and [[Mahabubabad district]]. Jangaon district was formed mostly from the old Jangaon Revenue division, with the exception of Maddur, Cherial and Komuravelli mandals, which were transferred to newly formed [[Siddipet district]], Ghanpur and Zaffergadh from Warangal  Revenue division and Gundala of [[Nalgonda district]] were merged with Jangaon district.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;newdist&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=New districts|url=http://www.andhrajyothy.com/artical?SID=320397|access-date=8 October 2016|work=Andhra Jyothy.com|date=8 October 2016}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
