History Miyapur, a Major village, close to Hyderabad, owes much of its ancient history, to the history of Hyderabad. Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Bahmanis, Qutb Shahis, Mughals and Asaf Jahis ruled this region. It was often referred to as an extension of the Bachupally village.
Miyapur is now a part of Ranga Reddy (RR) district, previously known as 'Hyderabad (Rural)' district, which was formed on 15 August 1978, by carving out and deleting the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, a few surrounding urban settlements that formed the urban core, of the erstwhile district of Hyderabad in the erstwhile Indian state of Hyderabad and renamed as Ranga Reddy district after the Late Sri K. V. Ranga Reddy, then deputy chief minister of erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh.

Miyapur falls under the "tropical rainy climatic" group, more specifically a tropical wet and dry or savanna climate.

Etymology
The name Miyapur is said to derive from Miya Patel, the Patel of the region. The word Patel in this context refers to the village headman or land-holder in older times. So Miya Patel would have been a local person of significance. Miya-pur then would mean the settlement/town of Miya (or Miya-Patel). The suffix -pur (from Sanskrit pura meaning town/settlement) is common in many place-names.
Economy Agriculture was the predominant occupation, before the urbanization of Miyapur. The main crops were cotton, maize, sugar cane, ground nut, red gram etc. In addition Flori-culture, dairy, vegetable cultivation were being practiced by the farmers. Sand quarrying is also an occupation.
For sometime now, Miyapur is turning around, to be a more urban economy with people working in large corporates and moving away from agriculture. Since 2021, Miyapur has witnessed a high-rise construction boom and is now home to some of the tallest buildings in Hyderabad. Candeur 40 and Team4 Nyla are the tallest among them.
