The area has a very long history with the 8th-century Rashtrakuta-era cave temple of Pataleshwar being the oldest manmade structure in Pune.[2]
Shivajinagar was earlier a village known as Bhambwade, with the name changing over time to Bhamburde.[3] During the Peshwa era, a handmade paper factory operated in Bhamburde. It is believed that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj visited the Rokdoba temple in the village and stayed at the Shirole family home, Shirole Wada.[4]
During the Maratha and British eras, the village Patil (head/chief) came from the Shiledar Shirole (Patil) family, members of which also served as Shiledar (warriors) in the Maratha army. The Shirole family is now a well-known political family.[citation needed]
In the 19th century, Jangali Maharaj, a saint revered mostly by Hindus, established his residence in Bhamburde. A temple with his tomb (samadhi) is located today in Shivajinagar and a major road is named after him.
In 1884, the Inamdar of Bhamburde, Rajaram Naroji Shirole Patil, leased 37 acres of land at the foot of Hanuman hill for 99 years to the Deccan Education Society. The society's best-known institution, Fergusson College, was built on this land.[5]
After independence, Bhamburde was renamed Shivajinagar.[citation needed] In the early 20th century, Wadarvadi, one of the oldest slums in Pune, came up on unused land belonging to the Shirole and Bahirat Patil families close to the Chaturshrungi Temple.[3]: 42 Wadarvadi is occupied mainly by the nomadic Wadar community.
In 1928, a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was inaugurated on land donated by the Shirole family. The Shri Shivaji military preparatory school was later established nearby.
