District headquarters; Nellore Municipal Corporation constituted 2004. Wikipedia's Nellore article, citing John Boswell's A Manual of the Nellore District (Government Press, 1873), records that the British recognised Nellore's importance in cultivation and as the site of the important port of Krishnapatnam, and lists the leading landholding families of the 1800s, among them 'The Chettiars Polighar' - a merchant-caste title. This is the clearest documented mercantile reference for the district.

A Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari temple is listed at Stonehousepet, Nellore. Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari is the kuladevata of the Arya Vysya / Komati community, so such a temple normally marks an established Arya Vysya settlement in the locality.
