Yanam district, Administrative district in Puducherry, India.

The district extends across 20 square kilometers on the north bank of Godavari River, bordered by Konaseema district and Kakinada district.

The territory remained under French administration from the 17th century until 1954, when it officially integrated into the Indian Union through a formal treaty.

The local population speaks Telugu as the primary language, while English and French maintain official status due to historical connections with France.

The district connects to other regions through a network of roads and waterways, with regular bus services and auto-rickshaws serving local transportation needs.

The Yanam Obelisk Tower reaches 101.6 meters in height, incorporating engineering foundations that extend 60 meters into the ground.
