The <a href="/wiki/Pandava" title="Pandava">Pandavas</a> are said to have passed through this region in the 13th year of their exile and to have settled in this area for some time.

The district of <a href="/wiki/Ratnagiri" title="Ratnagiri">Ratnagiri</a> was under the <a href="/wiki/Shilahara" title="Shilahara">Silahars</a>, and the capital of their kingdom was probably Goa.

Three northern subdivisions were transferred to <a href="/wiki/Thane_district" title="Thane district">Thane district</a> in 1830 and the district was reduced to a sub-collectorate level under Thane district. In 1832, it was again made a full-fledged district and named Ratnagiri district. In the year 1945, a new <i>Mahal</i> (<a href="/wiki/Tehsil" title="Tehsil">tahsil</a>) called Kankavli Mahal (tahsil) was formed. The former Indian state of <a href="/wiki/Sawantwadi" title="Sawantwadi">Sawantwadi</a> was merged with the district and the taluka boundaries reorganized in the year 1949. In the same year the new taluka of Sawantwadi was created and two new mahals, Kudal and Lanja, were formed.
