The earliest mention of this village is found in the time of Vyankoji Bhosale (1788 AD), the grandson of the first Raghuji Raje Bhosale of Nagpur.  Vyankoji was married to a girl from the Gujar family and gave cattle to Sindevahi as a gift to his nephew 'Gujabadada Gujar'.  Later, Navloji Gujar, who lived in Nagpur during the British rule, was a cattle farmer here.  However, there is no conclusive evidence as to which Shinde family the name Sindevahi came from or fell from a tree called Sindi.
