In ancient times, this place was known as Naagarikallu (from the Book of King Vasantharaya's Kridabiramam).
Nakirekal Mandal Mangalapalle village has a rich ancient history. Ravikumar explored Megalithic monuments, which are from the iron age period(1000 B.C. to 200 B.C.) and found three types of Megalithic monuments: stone circles, dolemanscist burials, and burrows. These are funerary burials of ancient Iron Age people.
