Discovered in the 17th century by Pedda Rayudu, Bobbili is one of the towns in the Vizianagaram district of Andhra Pradesh. It was initially called "Pedda-Puli", the giant tiger, after Sher Muhammad Khan, the Nawab of Srikakulam. The town was given him a gift to Maharaja Venkatgiri to thank him for his service in the southern battle. Over time, the town began to be referred to as "Pedda," then "Bebbuli," and, finally, "Bobbili". The Battle of Bobbili, fought in 1757 by the Vizianagaram Kings with the assistance of French General Marcquis de Bussy, is one of the most critical battles in the story of Andhra Pradesh. The battle is to be blamed for giving Bobbili the fame of never-ending courage. Beyond the battle, it is known for its Fort of Bobbili and Venugopala Swami Temple.
