History:

The formation of the Krishna District can be traced back to 1859 when it was carved out from the Rajahmundry district. At that time, it encompassed not only Guntur but also the West Godavari districts within the unified Andhra Pradesh. Later, in 1904, the Guntur district was established by dividing it from Krishna. Similarly, in 1925, the West Godavari district was created from portions of the Krishna district.

 Over the years, the administrative structure of the Krishna District underwent several changes. In 1971, it was composed of 10 Talukas, which increased to 21 by 1978. Furthermore, in 1985, the Mandal system was introduced, resulting in the formation of 50 mandals in the district. The most recent development occurred in 2022 when the NTR district was formed, taking its origins from parts of the original united Krishna district.
