However, as evidenced by the 2011 census, the Christian population has decreased.

History
The extended history of Nandivada is largely unknown as records are scarce prior to the 1866 Survey and Settlement Register, recorded by the Madras Presidency.[4]
Early History
Initially, Nandivada experienced explosive growth as the result of in-migration from dry areas in Krishna district after the devastating results of the Guntur famine of 1832. The first village headman, or munsif, of Nandivada, was Adusumilli Ankanna, around the 1850s. He married his daughter, "Mooga" Adusumilli Mahalakshmamma to Vemulapalli Pedda Kodandaramayya. Adusumilli Ankanna was also a distant relative of Adusumilli Lingayya's family, who built the Naga Vigraha in Nandivada.[6] Thereafter, all munsifs came from the Vemulapalli family, until the munsif system was abolished. The second most prestigious position of Karanam, or village accountant, was held by the Brahmin family of Nandivada Vasudevamurthy from the 1900s until its abolition as well.
Freedom Struggle
Many freedom fighters of repute originated from or held activities in Nandivada. Gadireddi Putlamma (née Kondapalli) was born in Nandivada to Kondapalli Venkata Reddy. She distributed pro-Congress bulletins and was jailed in 1932 at 21, later released on 31 August 1933 as a term of the Gandhi–Irwin Pact.[7]
Panuri Sundaramma and her husband, P Venkata Reddy, participated in the independence struggle and she was arrested on 27 June 1932. Reddy worked for Congress from 1930 to 1942. Sundaramma died in 1960.[8]
On 25 May 1932, Nutakki Sitaramamma, Surapaneni Venkata Subbamma, and Chagarlamudi (née Vellenki) Kameswaramma were arrested at Nandivada. Kameswaramma and her spouse, Brahmananda Rao, originally natives of Ventrapragada in Pedaparupudi mandal, participated in the civil disobedience movement and were imprisoned in Nandivada.[9]
Mandal Status
When Andhra Pradesh was reorganized into mandals by NTR on 29 July 1986, Nandivada was declared as part of Moturu mandal. A while later the decision was reversed and Nandivada was given its own mandal status, under the suggestion of Dasari Gopala Krishna, NTR's close friend and fellow actor who also entered politics, serving as Nandivada's panchayat president from 1988 to 1992. It was one of only two changes to the bill, the other being the mandal status of Pedaparupudi, pleaded by Cherukuri Ramoji Rao.[10]
