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.

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. The Gali Gopuram (temple tower) in Chiluvuru was built during his time.
