Kurnool mandal

Kurnool mandal is an administrative division in Kurnool district that encompasses several settlements spread along the Krishna River. The city of Kurnool functions as its administrative center and largest population center.

The area came under British administration in 1800 when the Nizam of Hyderabad ceded the region to the British East India Company. This transfer led to a reorganization of administrative structures that shaped the mandal system we see today.

Telugu is the language spoken across the settlements and represents the linguistic identity of this region in Andhra Pradesh. Local communities maintain traditions connected to the Krishna River and agricultural practices that shape daily life.

The mandal is closely linked to surrounding administrative divisions including C.Belagal, Gudur, Kallur, Orvakal, Midthur, and Nandikotkur, which together form the regional governance network. Visitors should note that administrative services are distributed across several centers.

The mandal comprises numerous smaller villages such as Chejerla, Kommupalem, and Devarampadu, each maintaining its own administrative records. This scattered settlement pattern reflects how local governance operates at the grassroots level across the region.
