According to ''[[The Imperial Gazetteer of India]]'',<ref>[https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V20_110.gif Penukonda in ''The Imperial Gazetteer of India'' vol 20, pp: 104-5.]</ref> Penukonda was a subdivision and taluk of Anantapur district in [[Madras province]]. It contains 96 villages covering an area of 677 square miles. The population in 1901 was 92,482 compared with 81,104 in 1891. Penukonda was the headquarters with a population of 6,806.

This region was controlled at different points in history by the [[Hoysala]]s, [[Chalukya]]s, [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]], [[Nawab]]s, [[Maratha]] chieftain Murari Rao, [[Tipu Sultan]], [[Nizam]] and eventually came under [[British Raj|British]] rule after it was ''ceded'' to the British by the Nizam of [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]].<ref>http://www.anantapur.com/travel/penu.html</ref> It was a melting pot of different religions but the town and fort were established by early [[Hoysala]] kings, who were practitioners of [[Jainism]].

After Krishna Deva Raya, Venkatapathi Rayalu, the Emperor of Vijayanagar, took over. He made Raya Dalavayi Koneti Naidu (son of Kasturi Naidu, grandson of Akkappa Naidu, great-grandson of Kanaka Naidu of Chandragiri), as the governor of Penukonda and conferred him the title with Maha-Raja-Raja-Sri and celebrated Koneti Naidu's marriage with Swarna. Koneti Naidu ruled Penukonda, Rayadurga and [[Kundurpi]] Forts for about 17 years (1635-1652 AD). After the ruling of Koneti Nayudu his descendants Raya Dalavayi Sri Venkatapathi Nayudu, Peda Timmappa Nayudu, Venkatapathi Nayudu, Koneti Nayudu, Rajagopala Nayudu and Timmappa Nayudu ruled this Penukonda.

Because of its ancient Jain history and presence of many temples it is one of the most revered places for Jains. In the Tamil Jain tradition, this is counted as one of the four Jain centers of learning (Vidystahana) i.e. a Bhattaraka matha which are [[Jainism in Delhi|Delhi]], [[Kolhapur#Medieval era|Kolhapur]], [[Jina Kanchi]] and Penukonda.<ref>Jain Monuments of Andhra, G. Jawaharlal, Sharada Publishing Houe, 2002, p. 74</ref> The famous ''Pache Parsvanath Swamy Temple'', with idol of ''Parsvanath'' containing a single green coloured stone (Pacha) is located here.<ref>[https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/mp/2004/07/10/stories/2004071000610100.htm A speed-breaker called Penukonda, The Hindu, Jul 10, 2004]{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>[http://www.jainheritagecentres.com/jainism-in-india/andhra-pradesh/penukonda/ Penukonda]</ref> According to the inscription on the image, it was consecrated in A.D. 1359, by a disciple of [[Mula Sangh]] Nandisangha's [[Balatkara Gana]], Saraswathi Gachha, Kondakundanvaya's Priyarajaguru Mandalacharya Maghanandi Siddantha Deva. It was once the seat of a Jain [[Bhattaraka]], established in A.D. 1359. The seat became extinct and the local Jain population declined. However the temple is well preserved. Also located here is the historic Ajitnath temple from the same period. After renovation by the Gowdanakunte family of Amarapura, it was preserved by Muni 108 Sri Ajithakeerthi Maharaj. After his samdhi in 1966, the temple was in poor condition byt has recently been renovated by the [[Dharmasthala]] institution.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ajithanathajaintemplepenkonda.com/history/ |title=Sri Ajithanatha Digambar Jain Temple Penkonda, 2019 |access-date=22 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821044344/http://ajithanathajaintemplepenkonda.com/history/ |archive-date=21 August 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
