During the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, the area was a dense forest with wild animals and famous as a hunting ground, hence the name Vanasthalipuram (Vana="forest"+sthali="place"+puram-a locality or site). Vanasthalipuram derived its name from Harini Vanasthali, an Deer Park located beside national highway. It was originally known as Shikharghar but when a housing colony was constructed near by, it was named as Vanasthalipuram by Andhra Pradesh working class staying in the community.
