It is the second largest district in the state by area, located 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the state capital of Hyderabad.

Mahbubnagar was formerly known as "Rukmammapeta", "Palamooru", or "Cholawadi" (the land of the Cholas).The name was changed to Mahabubnagar on 4 December 1890, in honour of Mir Mahbub Ali Khan Asaf Jah VI, the Nizam of Hyderabad (1869–1911 AD).
The area that includes Mahbubnagar district has held significance in various periods throughout history. The Telangana region was at the core of the Satavahana dynasty from 221 BC to 218 AD, and then the Andhra Pradesh state was a large part of the Chalukya dynasty from the 5th to the 11th century AD. The state was later part of the Kingdom of Golkonda (c. 1364 – 1512 AD), with its capital city Golkonda located near Hyderabad.
In 1518 Andhar Pradesh came under control of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which reigned until 1687. The state was then a part ofHyderabad State, ruled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty, from 1724 to 1948. Mahabubnagar was most likely an historically Buddhist area, as many historic temples were destroyed by the Asaf Jahi rulers. There are no Buddhist temples remaining, however.
Mahabubnagar district became independent and joined the democratic state of India on 18 September 1948.
Palamoor Samasthans tell the recent history of some parts of this region, which are still familiar to the alamoor people.
It is said that famous Golconda diamonds including the famous "Kohinoor" diamond came from this district.
