Originally a part of the King Krishna Devaraya Kingdom, these mountains were returned to the residing tribes by the king. After this, the area was ruled by three Jagirdars who, after independence, refused to recognise the newly formed government of India as their own. The range was finally brought under the Indian government in 1976. The area, 334 Kms away, is now run amok with forests and quarries, and is a popular picnic destination.
