[editar] History
Rulers of this Zamindari belong to the Pusapati family. The village Pooshpadu in Nandigama Taluq was built by Amala [Raju]]. The village later came to be known as Pusapadu. Therefore, the Kshatriyas living there came to be known as Pusapati.
In 1754, Pusapati Vijayarama Gajapathi Raju, of the ruling family of Vizianagaram, made an alliance with the French, but a few years later the territory was ceded to the British. It remained under their control until independence in 1947.
