There is confirmation to demonstrate that Mahur, aged Matapur, was a critical spot at the time of the Satavahanas and the Rashtrakutas. The Renuka temple on a neighboring slope was constructed by the Yadavas.

In the wake of staying with the Gond rulers for quite a while, Mahur passed on to the Bahamanis in the fifteenth century and was made a Suba. In the sixteenth century, Mahur, being purposely set at their core, confronted a ton of flame from the infighting between the Nizamshahi, Adilshahi and Imadshahi rulers.

At that point in the early seventeenth century, Mahur turned into a piece of the Mughal Empire and came to be led by their Subedars. At the point when Shahjahan defied his dad Jahangir, he took shelter in the Mahur fort alongside his wife and kids, including 6 years of age Aurangzeb.
