The Godavari district formed part of the Andhra division of Dravida, the north-west portion being subject to the
Orissa
  kings, and the
south
 -western belonging to the Vengi kingdom. For centuries it was the battlefield on which various chiefs fought for independence with varying success till the beginning of the 16th century, when the whole country may be said to have passed under Mahommedan power. At the conclusion of the struggle with the French in the Carnatic, Godavari with the Northern Circars was conquered by the English, and finally ceded by imperial sanad in 1765. The district was constituted in 18J9, by the redistribution of the territory comprising the former districts of Guntur, Rajahmundry and Masulipatam., into what are now the Kistna and Godavari districts.
