==History==<br />
<br />
Pachipenta gained sudden significance in the later medieval history of [[Kalinga (historical region)|Kalinga]] under its rulers - the [[Kingdom of Jeypore|Jeypore Suryavanshis]]. According to historians like N. Senapati & N.K.Sahu, the zamindari of Pachipenta was founded by Vishwambhar Dev I (1672-1676) who freed Kalinga from the weakened [[Golconda]] sultanate by defeating the Nawab of Chicacole (Sri Kakulam) in 1673. He granted the zamindari of Pachipenta that comprised seven villages to Tammanna Dora with the title of 'Dakshina Kavata Durga-raj' or the 'lord of the southern portal'.{{sfn|Dutt|2015|p=43}} Viswambhar re-established the position of his kingdom and became the Maharajah of Kalinga. <br />
<br />
The zamindar of Pachipenta in 1712 claimed independence from the kingdom of Jeypore that was breaking into different fragments under the weak rule of Balaram Dev III. The British entered the region in 1775 and captured all tiny zamindaris including Pachipenta. In 1908, [[Vikram Dev III|Maharaja Sir Vikram Dev III]] purchased the zamindari for six lakhs and the region re-immersed into the territory of Jeypore kings until 1947.{{sfn|Dutt|2015|p=49}} <br />
