History

Yelahanka was the capital of Kempegowda, founder of Bangalore. In the 1980’s this locality was developed as a Municipal council with 32 Wards and was also the Taluk headquarters prior to the formation of BBMP.[8]On 6 November 2006, the BMP Council was dissolved by the State Government upon the completion of its five year term. [9]In January 2007, the Karnataka Government issued a notification to merge the areas under then Bangalore Mahanagara Palike with seven City municipal council (CMC)'s, one Town municipal council (TMC) and 110 villages around the city to form a single administrative body, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike.[10] The process was completed by April 2007 and the body was renamed Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (Greater Bangalore Municipal Corporation).[11] Yelahanka Ward has been renamed after Kempegowda, founder of Bangalore city. Yelahanka, a part of the erstwhile Vijayanagara Empire, was and also the birth place of King Kempegowda I.[12]
