[edit] History
Chiluvuru is located in Guntur District, the region which was famous as the hub of the history of Andhra Pradesh. Ancient Satavahanas ruled from the nearby Dhanyakataka / Dharanikota (Amaravati) situated on the bank of Krishna river. In the time of Pallavas and Eastern Chalukyas this region was known as Kammarashtram / Kammanadu, which extended from the southern banks of the Krishna river up to Kandukur (Prakasam Dt.). Subsequently, Eastern Chalukyas and Telugu Cholas held sway in this region. The recent history can be linked to the rule of Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu who ruled from Amaravati.
