Beed is a city and the headquarters of the Beed district of Maharashtra state in India. The English Wikipedia article calls it a historical city of possibly medieval origin with an obscure early history, and says historians speculate from archaeological remains that it may have been founded by the Yadava rulers of Devagiri between 1173 and 1317, possibly in the period of King Singhana, before it was governed by the Nizams during British India. Its climate is compared with that of Pune. At the 2011 census the Beed Municipal Council had a population of 146,709, of whom 75,566 were male and 71,143 female, a sex ratio of 941 females per 1000 males.
