History
Rajahmundry was established by Ammaraja Vishnuvardhana the First (919–934 AD). The city as a prominent settlement can be traced back to the rule of the Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra, who reigned around 1022 AD. Remains of 11th-century palaces and forts still exist.
Rajahmundry was under Dutch rule for some time. In 1602, the Dutch had constructed a fort, and in 1857, the British conquered the Dutch settlement. They converted it into a jail in 1864 and elevated it into a central jail in 1870. The jail is spread over 196 acres (79 ha), out of which the buildings occupy 37.24 acres (15.07 ha).
In the Madras Presidency, the district of Rajahmundry was created in 1823. It was reorganised in 1859 and bifurcated into the Godavari and Krishna districts. During British rule, Rajahmundry was the headquarters of Godavari district, which was further divided into East Godavari and West Godavari in 1925. When the Godavari district was split, Kakinada became the headquarters of East Godavari, and Eluru became the headquarters of the West Godavari district.
