Ramanayakanahalli was named after a brave soldier Ramanayaka, who helped Haidarali and Tippu Sultan to fight against the British.

A Veeragallu has also been installed in his name at a Eucalyptus farm which is situated at the main entrance of the village in honour of the brave soul that he was.

However, there have been arguments over the fort area till today, which is situated in and around 50 acres of Ramanayakanahalli, and to whom it belonged.

Some say that it belonged to Haidarali, while some argue it belonging to Ramanayaka. The wnership is yet to be acertained and nobody has any proff that will conclusively prove it.

 The fort area resemble the forts at Chitradurga, Bidar and other historical places that have stood witness to the grand history of our state.

Whatever, the argument, this fort area is now under the possession of a person who belongs to a minority community. There is only one family lives which stays here at present, when at a time five families belonging to the same minority community lived here.

Meanwhile, the people of the place hope that the dilapidated fort be taken care of the district administration, Department of Archeological Survey Of India, Historical Academy and Tourism Department, particularly after delimitation of constituencies to take measures to improve the conditions of the fort and make it one of the tourist and historically significant centres which attract tourists and regain some of its lost glory.
