हैदरबाद नाम के पीछे कई धारणायें हैं । एक प्रसिद्ध धारणा है कि इस शहर को बसाने के बाद मुहम्मद कुली कुतुब शाह एक स्थानीय बंजारा लड़की भागमती से प्रेम कर बैठा । लड़की से शादी के बाद उसने इस शहर का नाम भाग्यनगरम रखा । इस्लाम स्वीकार करने के बाद, भागमती का नाम हैदर महल हुआ - और शहर का भी नया नाम हैदराबाद ("हैदर का बसाया गया शहर") हो गया ।

सुल्तान कुली कुतुब मुल्क , गोलकुंडा सल्तनत के शासक परिवार, "कुतुब शाही" राजवंश का संस्थापक था । १५१२ मे स्वतंत्र सल्तनत बनने से पहले यह राजवंश बहमनी सल्तनत के आधीन था । १५९१ में इस राजवंश के एक शासक मुहम्मद कुली कुतुब शाह ने मूसी नदी के तट पर हैदराबाद शहर की स्थापना की , यह स्थान परिवर्तन, पुराने मुख्यालय गोलकुंडा में राजवंश को हो रही पानी की कमी के कारण करना पडा । कहा जाता है कि, इससे पहले कि प्लेग की महामारी उसकी नये बसाये शहर में फ़ैल पाती, उस पर काबू पाया जा सका, इसलिये उसने, सर्वशक्तिमान ईश्वर के प्रति कृतज्ञता ज्ञापित करते हुये, उसी साल, चारमीनार बनवाने का भी आदेश दिया । १६वीम शताब्दी और शुरुआती १७वीं शताब्दी में, जैसे जैसे कुतुब शाही राजवंश की शक्ति और सत्ता बढती गयी, हैदराबाद हीरों के व्यापार का केंन्द्र बनता गया । महारानी एलीजाबेथ के राजमुकुट में जड़ा विश्व में सर्वाधिक प्रसिद्ध कोह-ए-नूर, गोलकुंड़ा की हीरों की खानें से ही निकला है । कुतुब शाही राजवंश ने हैदराबाद में हिन्दुस्तानी-फारसी और हिन्दुस्तानी- इस्लामी साहित्य के विकास में भी सहयोग किया । कुछ सुल्तान स्थानीय तेलगू संस्कृति के संरक्षक भी माने जाते हैं । १६वीं शताब्दी में शहर गोल्कुंडा की जनसंख्या के बसने के लिये बढा और फ़लतः कुतुब शाही शासकों की राजधानी बन गया । हैदराबाद अपने बागों और सुखद मौसम के लिये जाना जाने लगा । १६८७ में, मुगल शासक ऒरंगजेब ने हैदराबाद पर अधिकार कर लिया । इस कम समय के मुगल शासन के दॊरान, हैदराबाद का सॊभाग्य क्षय होने लगा । जल्द ही, मुगल शासक के द्वारा नियुक्त शहर के सूबेदार ने अधिक स्वायत्ता पा ली । १७२४ में असफ़ जाह प्रथम , जिसे मुगल सम्राट ने "निजाम-ए-मुल्क" का खिताब दिया था, ने एक विरोधी अधिकारी को हैदराबाद पर अधिकार स्थापित करने में हरा दिया । इस तरह आसफ़ जाह राजवंश का प्रारंभ हुआ, जिसने हैदराबाद पर भारत की अंग्रेजों से स्वतंत्रता के एक साल बाद तक शासन किया । आसफ़ जाह के उत्तराधिकारीयों ने हैदराबाद पर राज्य किया, वे निजाम कहलाये । इन सात निजामों के राज्य में हैदराबाद सांस्कृतिक और आर्थिक दोनों भांति विकसित हुआ । हैदराबाद राज्य की आधिकारिक राजधानी बन गया और पुरानी राजधानी गोलकुंडा छोंड़ दी गयी । बड़े बड़े जलाशय जैसे कि निजाम सागर, तुंगबाद्र, ओसमान सागर, हिमायत सागर और भी कई बनाये गये । नगार्जुन सागर के लिये सर्वे भी इसी समय शुरु किया गया, जिसे भारत सरकार ने १९६९ में पूरा किया । जब १९४७ में भारत स्वतन्त्र हुआ, ब्रितिश शासन से हुयी शर्तों के तहत हैदराबाद ने; जिसका प्रतिनिधित्व मुख्य मन्त्री, मंत्रिमण्डल और निजाम कर रहे थे, स्वतन्त्र होने को चुना, एक मुक्त शासक की भान्ति या ब्रिटिश साम्राज्य की रियासत की भान्ति । भारत ने हैदराबाद पर आर्थिक नाकाबन्दी लगा दी | परिणामतः हैरदराबाद राज्य को एक विराम समझॉता करना पडा | भारत की स्वतन्त्रता के करीब एक साल बाद, १७ सितम्बर १९४८ के दिन निजाम ने अधिमिलन प्रपत्र पर हस्ताक्षर किये | १ नवम्बर १९५६ को भारत का भाषायी आधार पर पुर्नसंगठन किया गया | हैदराबाद राज्य के प्रदेश नये बने आन्ध्र प्रदेश्, बोम्बे (बाद मे महाराष्ट्र), और कर्नाटक राज्यों मे तेलुगुभाषी लोगं के अनुसार बांट दिये गये | इस तरह हैदराबाद नये बने राज्य आन्ध्र प्रदेश की राजधानी बना |
