History
The town of Lingasugur grew from the Karadakal during the colonial era. Early medieval inscriptions have been discovered from nearby Karadakal and Yardona dating from Rashtrakuta period. The place then was known as Kardikalnadu (Karadakal), headquarter of region with 300 villages under its control. During the late 12th century, the headquarter was shifted to From Karadkal to Mudgal and hence this place lost its eminence, only to be revived in the 19th century. A cantonment site was built 1 mile east of the Karadkal, 2 mile north of the Kasbahlingasugur by the British. The region was under the dominion of Nizam of Hyderabad until 1948. Lingasugur was made a district for about 25 years in the late 19th century. The present day Koppal district, Sindhanur, Shorapur, and Shahapur taluks came under its jurisdiction. In 1905, the district was abolished and parts of it transferred to Raichur and Gulbarga districts.
