History
The region, known as Kundal (now a tiny village 40 km away from Sangli city) in medieval India, was the capital of the Chalukya Empire in the 12th century AD. During the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Sangli, Miraj and surrounding areas were captured from the Mughal Empire. Until 1801, Sangli was included in Miraj Jahangir. Sangli separated from Miraj in 1801, following a family quarrel between Chintamanrao Patwardhan and his paternal uncle, Gangadharrao Patwardhan, who had succeeded his childless elder brother as the sixth chief of Miraj in 1782.
Sangli is notable for the Brindavana (tomb) of Satyavrata Tirtha, a saint of the Dvaita Order of Vedanta and Peetadipathi of Uttaradi Math who took Samadhi in Sangli in the year 1638.
Prior to the reorganisation of districts after Indian independence, the area comprising the present-day Sangli district formed part of the larger Satara region during the Bombay Presidency under British India.
Following the formation of the state of Maharashtra in 1960, administrative boundaries were reorganised, and Sangli district was officially constituted in 1961.
Owing to its geographical location in the southern portion of the former Satara region, the area has been informally referred to in regional usage as "South Satara".
