Udgir is famous for the historic war between the [[Marathas]] and the Nizam, led by [[Sadashivrao Bhau]], who defeated Nizam in 1759 when the treaty of Udgir was signed. Marathas won a convincing victory in the [[Battles involving the Maratha Empire#Battle of Wai|Battle of Udgir]] under the leadership of Sadashivrao Bhau. Later it prompted Peshwe (Peshwas) of [[Pune]] to elevate and designate him as Chief Commander of the Maratha army for the [[Third Battle of Panipat]] fought in 1761. Nevertheless, it was part of the Nizam's state until 1948 and the [[State of Hyderabad]] between 1948 and 1956 before being annexed to [[Bombay State]].

Before the formation of Latur district, Udgir was part of [[Osmanabad district|Osmanabad]] district.
