Adoni is one of the biggest and commercial towns in Rayalaseema and also in Andhra Pradesh State In 1867 AD The Adoni Municipal Council was created, along with the Bellary Municipal Council. These were the only two municipal townships in the whole of Bellary district for a long time. Adoni was under the rule of Yadavas in 16th century. At that time Adoni was known as Yadavagiri. Yadavagiri changed into Adavani under the Islamic rule. Later Adavani changed into Adoni. Muslims controlled this town until 1792, when a war between the British East India Company and Tippu Sultan resulted in its cession to the Nizam of Hyderabad. Under British rule Adoni was in Bellary district of Madras presidency. Under the influence of British colonialism in the 20th century, Southern Indian was divided into several administrative districts; Adoni fell into the district of Bellary. The city gained its present seat as part of the state of Andhra Pradesh in 1953, when the British further divided the country by language of origin. While the city constantly shifted its governmental structure, it emerged as a trade hub as a product of its impressive bounties of grain and gold, along with cloth and textile production. Over the century, the city built up an entire industry of cotton mills, solidifying its place in the county?s modern trade economy.
