HistoryEdit
According to the Mahābhārata, Porumamilla got its name from a battle that took place here between Bhima and Bakasura.
YSR district was one of the 13 new districts formed in 2022 , with its headquarters at Kadapa. The reorganisation of the districts increased the number of districts in Andhra Pradesh to 26. It has 3 revenue divisions - Jammalamadugu revenue division, Kadapa revenue division and Badvel revenue division.[2]
Kadapa district was renamed YSR district in 2010 after Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (8 July 1949 – 2 September 2009), who was chief minister of Andhra Pradesh for two terms. In a political career spanning 30 years, he never lost an election. He died in a helicopter accident.[3][4][5][6]
