Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Madapollam

{Madhavdyapalem or MddhavapoUem). — Suburb of Narasapur in Kistna District, Madras, situated in 16° 26' N. and 81° 42' E. It was an important factory in the early days of the East India Company, which gave its name to a class of cotton goods still known as Madapollams. The encroachments of the river Godavari, which here makes a sharp bend towards the south, have now greatly eroded the site of the old settlement.
