Encyclopædia Britannica refer it as ''Bhir'', Encyclopedia Encarta as ''Bīr'' and Google Maps as ''Bir'' while it is found at World Gazetteer as ''Bīd''. Beed's early history is obscure. Historians speculate; based on archaeological remains, that the city might have been founded by the Yadava rulers (1173–1317) of Devagiri (Daulatabad). Beed was a part of the State of Hyderabad (''Asaf Jahi Kingdom'') of Nizams in British India. The Hyderabad state was annexed to India in September 1948 following a military action. Beed remained in annexed Hyderabad state until 1956 when it was included in Bombay Presidency. On May 1, 1960 Maharashtra state was created on linguistic basis and Marathi dominant Beed district became part of Maharashtra. The city has got several historical buildings of which Kankaleshwar temple is the most famous. Remains of fort (قbeeğلعه) are still visible on the western bank of Bensura river. Being district headquarters, the city has several administrative offices including district and municipal councils, district and session courts, collectorate and office of the superintendent of police.
