The town Ahmednagar was founded in 1494 by Ahmad Nizam Shah I on the site of a more ancient city, Bhingar. With the breakup of the Bahmani Sultanate, Ahmad established a new sultanate in Ahmednagar, also known as Nizam Shahi dynasty.{{cite book |last1=Sohoni |first1=Pushkar |title=The Architecture of a Deccan Sultanate: Courtly Practice and Royal Authority in Late Medieval India |date=2018 |publisher=I.B.

It was one of the Deccan sultanates, which lasted until its conquest by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1636. Aurangzeb, the last Mughal emperor, who spent the latter years of his reign, 1681–1707, in the Deccan, died in Ahmednagar and is buried at Khuldabad,{{Cite web |title=Aurangzeb: Chapter 1 {{!}} Stanford University Press |url=https://www.sup.org/books/history/aurangzeb/excerpt/chapter-1 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250124064532/https://www.sup.org/books/history/aurangzeb/excerpt/chapter-1 |archive-date=2025-01-24 |access-date=2025-02-27 |website=Stanford University Press |language=en}} near Aurangabad in 1707, with a small monument marking the site.{{citation needed|date=July 2023}}

In 1759, the Peshwa of the Marathas obtained possession of the place from Nizam of Hyderabad and in 1795 it was ceded by the Peshwa to the Maratha chief Daulat Rao Sindhia. In 1803 Ahmednagar was besieged by a British force under Richard Wellesley and captured. It was afterward restored to the Marathas but again came into the possession of the British in 1817, according to the terms of the Treaty of Poona, and was known as Ahmednuggur.

In 19th century American Christian missionaries opened first modern schools in this town. According to a report there were four girls' school running under the superintendence of Cynthia Farrar around the 1850s. Mahatma Jyotirao Phule visited them and got inspired to open school for girls in Poona. Later, he enrolled his wife Savitribai Phule in Farrar's school in a teacher's training program. Farrar was from America and spent his entire life in Ahmednagar running her schools, these girls' schools were one of the first such kind in the country.{{Cite web |title=Cynthia Farrar — Missionary woman who inspired Jotirao Phule |date=28 January 2023 |url=https://thesatyashodhak.com/cynthia-farrar-missionary-woman-who-inspired-jotirao-phule/ }}

One of the oldest and important railway projects of Ahmednagar railway station was Kalyan-Ahmednagar railway project which was in planning stage since British regime.
