The ancient residents of this island were Toorpu Reddis and Challa Yanadis. Who led a primitive  way of life. Their staple diet was what Nature bestowed on them – Veduru biyyam (bamboo Manna), honey and different varieties of fruit and their homes were  nest – like huts. This is the pictuare of people who lived there three centuries ago. In order to facilitate the construction of SHAR, all those people of bygone time had been rehabilitated in a little far away area and given special facilities Sulurupet area in the district has seen great development in the  last 40 years after the advent of SHAR near by.
