During British Rule, the district of Rajahmundry was created in the Madras Presidency in 1823. It was reorganised in 1859 and divided into the Godavari and Krishna districts. Rajahmundry was the headquarters of the Godavari district, which was further divided into East Godavari and West Godavari districts in 1925. It is administered under the Rajahmundry revenue division of the East Godavari district.
The city's name was derived from Rajaraja Narendra, a ruler of the Chalukya dynasty in the 11th century, who ruled over the city. In 2015, the city was renamed from Rajahmundry to Rajamahendravaram.
The city is known for its floriculture, history, Telugu literature, culture, agriculture, economy, tourism, and heritage. It is known as the "Cultural Capital of Andhra Pradesh".
