The Chola Dynasty (300 BC to 1279 AD), then-rulers of Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh, founded "Chola Varam" as their border post to enter into "Gajapathi Kingdom" of Orissa. As the time passed, the name was evolved to "Chodavaram".[citation needed] In 1941, Chodavaram had a population of 8,379.[3]
