History

Palvancha Estate was originally obtained in 1324.[2] Originally, Bhadrachalam Zamindar possessed half of the proprietary rights on the estate. Rekapalle taluk was one of them and was first leased out in 1574 to a family in Korukonda and was termed as Taluqdar of Rekapalle. He was murdered by his Diwans in 1814 when Sri Rajah Sureddy Venkayya was divided from the main estate. This was transferred to Central Provinces in 1860,[3] which was included to Godavery district in 1860, formerly in the Nizam Dominions.[4] Rekapalle Estate included Rekapalle Taluk, Marrigudem and Nandigama, of which Nandigama is a considerable estate.[5]

Rekapalle Estate was part of Palvancha estate of Aswaraos, after Bhadrachalam and Rekapalle were transferred from Nizam dominions to Central Provinces. Bharachalam Zamindars were called superior proprietors, while Rekapalle Zamindars were called Inferior Proprietors.

Rebellion

Few rebellions took place there and the Rekapalle Zamindar donated Rs. 800 to Sri Ramagiri Devasthanam.[6]
