The Aurangabad City was founded in 1610 by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtuza Nizam Shah II, on the site of a village called Khadki.

In 1653, Prince Aurangzeb son of Shahjahan, the Emperor of Delhi was appointed Viceroy of Deccan.

One of them, Kamruddin Chin-Kulich Khan, famously known as Nizam Ul Mulk formed his own kingdom.

All villages belonging to Bikaner Riyasat (namely Karanpura, Padampura, Kesarsinghpura and Konkanwadi) were transferred to the British.

While the responsibility of direct field administration of the Cantonments is discharged through the Cantonment Boards, supervisory and control functions over the working of these bodies are exercised through the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Command with the advice of the Principal Director Defence Estates at the intermediate level and by the Central Government at the highest level.

The Cantonments have been set up for quartering troops and, therefore, have to serve the basic civic amenities of the Armed Forces as are required in relation to the residential area for officers and men, open spaces for training, sports and recreation facilities and other establishments.

The Boards generally comprise the democratically elected representatives of the civilian population and nominated members from the Armed Forces and District administration.

Animals like Deers, Monkeys, Mongoose Field Rats and few leopards have taken a shelter in the vast green region of the Aurangabad Cantonment.

The Cantonment Board Aurangabad is traditionally known for maintaining a high standard of civic administration.

Aurangabad cantonment houses Sarvatra Ecological Park and Training Area (SEPTA).

This golf course was laid by the British and finds mention in the old revenue maps of Aurangabad Cantonment.
