Located on the left bank of the mighty river "Godavari" the historical city of Rajahmundry, popularly known as the cultural capital of Andhra Pradesh, was built by the then King Rajaraja Narendra. It was the capital of Tulavas and Chalukyas. The longest Road-cum-Rail Bridge in Asia on River Godavari starts from the city. There are two other bridges on the river Godavari, one, a rail bridge constructed about 150 years ago which is now abandoned and is proposed to be converted into a historical monument; two, third rail bridge constricted in 1996 which is one of the longest rail bridges in Asia.

The history of Rajahmundry dates back to 919 A.D. The city derived its name from the title "Rajahmahendra" worn by Vishnuvardhan who ruled the kingdom during 919-934 A.D. At the request of the famous king Rajaraja Narendra (1022-1061 A.D), Nannaya, the first Telugu poet took up the translation of Maha Bharata. Later the Cholas and the Cholukyas ruled the Vengi kingdom with Rajamahendravaram (now called Rajahmundry) as capital. Later the kingdom had come under the rule of Kakatiyas.
