==History==

Line 84:

Belgaum is the Divisional Headquarters of [[North Karnataka]]. The original name of the town of Belgaum was Venugrama, meaning ''Bamboo Village''. It is also known as Malnad Pradesh. The most ancient place in the district is [[Halasi|Halsi]]; and this, according to inscriptions on [[Indian copper plate inscriptions|copper plates]] discovered in its neighbourhood, was once the capital of a dynasty of nine [[Kadambas|Kadamba]] kings. It appears that from the middle of the 6th century to about 760 the area was held by the [[Chalukya]]s, who were succeeded by the [[Rashtrakuta]]s. After the break-up of the Rashtrakuta dynasty a portion of it survived in the [[Ratta dynasty|Rattas]] (875–1250), who from 1210 onward made Venugrama their capital. Inscriptions give evidence of a long struggle between the Rattas and the [[Halasi#Kadamba dynasty|Kadamba]]s of [[Goa]], who succeeded in the latter years of the 12th century in acquiring and holding part of the district. By 1208, however, the Kadambas had been overthrown by the Rattas, who in their turn succumbed to the [[Yadavas of Devagiri]] in 1250. After the overthrow of the Yadavas by the [[Delhi Sultanate]] (1320), Belgaum was for a short time under the rule of the latter; but only a few years later the part south of the [[Ghataprabha River]] was subject to the Hindu rajas of [[Vijayanagara]]. In 1347 the northern part was conquered by the [[Bahmani Sultanate]], which in 1473 took the town of Belgaum and conquered the southern part also. When [[Aurangzeb]] overthrew the [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapura]] sultans in 1686, Belgaum passed to the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]]. In 1776 the country was overrun by [[Hyder Ali]] of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]], but was taken by the [[Madhavrao Peshwa]] . In 1818 it was handed over to the [[British East India Company]], and was made part of the district of [[Dharwad district|Dharwar]]. In 1836 this was divided into two parts, the northern district becoming Belgaum.<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=1|wstitle=Belgaum|volume=3|page=668}}</ref>
