Jaggampeta is a town in Jaggampeta mandal, located in Kakinada district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.[2] It is located on the delta of Godavari. The origin of the name Jaggampeta derived from the Lake Jaggama situated in the town. Jaggampeta is also called as "Uddandula kota" (Fort of Pipes), "The Gate of Agency", "The Entrance of Maredumilli Forests" and "The Center of East Godavari". Since the 18th century, British rule dominated this region in India, known for its thriving export of decorative tiles to Britain. Jaggampeta was once a hub of tile production. The town earned its nickname "Area of Tall Pipes" due to the record number of tall smoke towers that belonged to the many tile factories which dominated the landscape. A siren dating back to 20th century can be heard across a 1.5km radius everyday, which used to indicate working hours (6AM, 8AM, 12PM, 2PM, and 6PM) for the Industrial workers. Despite of the availability of the modern era clocks, the siren still rings five times a day as it used to, as a tradition, keeping the area connected to its past industrial roots.
