Central Karnataka was a part of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire between the 14th and 17th centuries. By 1799, the regions of present-day Karnataka including the Central Karnataka were annexed by the British administration. Though, some districts remained part of the Princely state of Mysore, others were integrated into different administrative states. Post-independence in 1956, the State of Mysore was created, with certain regions from Hyderabad, Bombay, and Madras joining with the Princely State of Mysore. Veerashaivas are the dominating community in Central Karnataka, while the SC/STs and other backward communities also have a significant composition in the region.
