== Etymology ==
Jaggaiahpeta was governed by a ruler, by name Sri Rajah [[Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu]]. It is said that he founded two towns, namely, Jaggayyapeta, named after his father Jaggayya, and [[Atchampet, Andhra Pradesh|Achampeta]], named after his mother Atchamma.

== History ==
{{unreferenced section|date=October 2015}}

Government records suggest the founder of the town was Venkatadri Nayudu, who developed and renamed the village of Betavolu to Jaggayyapeta. The region was then infested with robbers and hence the old village was called Dongala Betavolu (Robbers' Betavolu). For some time, Jaggayyapeta was mentioned in Government records with Betavolu written in brackets. This region has an ancient history, the innocent-looking mound 'Dhanam Bodu', lying east of Jaggayyapeta, has in it the remains of an ancient [[stupa]], which has been lying there for 2,000 years. Jaggayyapeta became a municipality in 1987 and Sreeram Badari Narayanarao was elected as 1st municipal chairman.
