Legend has it that Parashurama too lived here, giving the village the epithet Bhargavapuri, or "the town of Bhargava (Parashurama)."[1]
Another legend suggests that this city was given as a gift to the elder daughter (elder daughter or hiriya magalu in Kannada) of King Rukmangada, who ruled Sakrepatna at the time. Hence the name of the locality came to be known as Hiremagalur (the town of the elder daughter).[1]
