In 1854 the Jangaon Taluka was under [[Bhongir|Bhonagheer Circars]].<ref>{{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|publisher=}}</ref> 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 Taluka 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.<ref name="Yazdani-1937">{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zXBB1nZYoLIC&pg=PA121|title=Hyderabad State|first=Ghulam|last=Yazdani|year=1937|publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Distri|via=Google Books}}</ref>

1905 Jangaon 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]].<ref name="gwmc.gov.in">{{cite web|url=http://www.gwmc.gov.in/knowyourcorporation.aspx|title=Know Your Corporation|publisher=|access-date=6 January 2020|archive-date=25 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125023730/https://gwmc.gov.in/knowyourcorporation.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref>

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.<ref name="gwmc.gov.in" /> But again Jangaon taluka from [[Nalgonda district]] have become part of Warangal district. After these changes in 1953, few villages of Jangaon taluka went to [[Medak district]] and some remained in Nalgonda district. 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, [[Raghunathpalle]], [[Lingalaghanpur]] Mandal and two villages merged in Station Ghanpur Mandal.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i4pvVOd2L0cC&q=kodakondla+taluk+created&pg=PA214|title=Land and people of Indian states and union territories : (in 36 volumes). 2.
