History of the town is mostly associated with the history of Changdev Maharaj. The present day Changdev town used to be known as Shri Kshetra Bhingnapur and even before that as Sundarpur. As the legend goes, Changdev Maharaj, a powerful yogi had defied death 14 times using his yogic powers. Over period of time Changdev had developed pride due to his extra ordinary achievements which was obstructing his advancement. It was his spiritual guide Muktai, who pulled him out of this trap and showed him the path to realization. There exists an ancient temple here in which Changdev Maharaj had taken his Samādhi.
