'''Ramachandrapuram''' is a town located in [[Konaseema district]] of the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. The town is a [[Municipality]] which serves as the headquarters of Ramachandrapuram mandal and Ramachandrapuram revenue division and acts as a central hub to nearest cities. This is one of the seven assembly segments of Amalapuram Lok Sabha constituency. The town's name is linked to Kakarlapudi Ramachandraraju, and it was initially referred to as Ramachandrapuram, later clarified as Kota Ramachandrapuram (Fort Town) to distinguish it from other villages with similar names. The town's origin is tied to the Kakarlapudi family who built a fort after their previous fort in Kotipalli was inundated by floods. Ramachandrapuram became a municipality in 1959, initially as a Grade III municipality, and later upgraded to 2nd grade in 1980. The fort, built in 1865, is a prominent landmark and attracts film shoots. The Kakarlapudi family has played a role in the town's administration, with members serving as Municipal Chairmen and legislators.<ref>{{cite news|author1=K.N.
