Cuddapah city was a part of the Chola Empire from 11th 15th century. Muslims conquered it in 1565, and then the British took control of it in the 1800. Although the town is an ancient one, Neknam Khan, the famous Qutub Shahi commander, who called the extension Neknamabad, probably extended it. It is not probable that Nekanamabad was the name given to the whole town. In any case it fell into disuse and the records of the 18th century refer to the Mayana rulers not as Nawabs of Nekanamabad but the Nawabs of Cuddapah. Except for some years in the beginning, Cuddapah was the seat of the Mayana Nawabs in the 18th century. With the British occupation of the tract in A.D 1800, it became the headquarters of one of the four Subordinate Collectors under Principal Collector, Major Munro. In Cuddapah, are the relics of the rule of the Cuddapah Nawabs Most prominent among these are two towers and the dargahs. It also has got three churches and numerous temples.Gandikota or The Gorge Fort Gandikota or The Gorge Fort is situated about 6 miles to the west of Jammalamadugu in Cuddapah district.
