History
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2025) |
Naraynpet was a major economic town in the region during the 1900s. Business flourished during the Lokapally establishment.[clarification needed] Major goods traded in Narayanpet were food grains, silk and cotton sarees, gold and silver ornaments, red bricks and black wool. Narayanpet was also a Suba (greater administrative district) in the Nizam period, and was the first municipality in the former Mahaboobnagar district. Despite being a major commercial town, development in Narayanpet was largely delayed due to administrative faults, political negligence and lack of interest from the leaders.
