The District is skirted to a distance by Kandivalasagedda, Vamsadhara and Bahuda at certain stretches of their courses while a line of heights of the great Eastern Ghasts run from North East. Vizianagaram District flanks in the south and west while Orissa bounds it on the north and Bay of Bengal on the East. The total area of the District is 5,837 Sq. Kms. It has a population of 27,03,114 persons according to the 2011 census. The District derived its name from Srikakulam its headquarters town. Srikakulam District was carved out in 1950 by bifurcating it from Visakhapatnam District, it remained unaffected in its territorial jurisdiction for quite some time. But in November, 1969 the District lost 63 villages from Saluru Taluk and 44 villages from Bobbili Taluk on account of their transfer to the then newly constituted Gajapathinagaram Taluk of Visakhapatnam District. Again in May, 1979, the District had undergone major territorial changes on account of the formation of new District with head quarters at Vizianagaram which involved transfer of Salur, Bobbili, Parvathipuram and Cheepurupalli Taluks to the new District. The Nagavali, Vamsadhara, Survarnamukhi, Vegavathi, Mahendratanaya Gomukhi, Champavathi, Bahuda and Kumbikota gedda are the important rivers of the District. The Vamsadhara river rises in the Eastern Ghats of Orissa State and enters Srikakulam District in Bhamini Mandal and finally falls in to the Bay of Bengal near Calingapatnam. The Nagavali and Survarnamukhi rivers also originate in the Eastern Ghats while Nagavali in Vangara Mandal and the confluence joins the Bay of Bengal at Kallepalli near Srikakulam rising in Pachipenta hills the Vegavathi river flows from west to east, ultimately joining the river Suvarnamukhi, Gomukhi joins Suvarnamukhi at Sirlam village of Vizianagaram District, Mahendratanya, which is Atributory of Vamsadhara joins the later at Komanapalli village in Hiramandalam Mandal. Another river of the same eastern Ghats flows through Mandasa and Sompeta Mandalas and falls into Bay of Bengal at Baruva.
