An ancient city located in Andhra Pradesh, Guntur is an industrial hub famous for being home to Asia's largest chili market. It is also close to Andhra Pradesh's capital–Amravathi.

The city was founded in the mid-18th century by the French, but in 1788 it was ceded to the British. It became a municipality in 1866. A railroad junction and trade centre, Guntur's economy is dominated by the growing of jute, tobacco, and rice.

The surrounding region is bounded on the east and north by the Krishna River, from which radiate canals that irrigate the nearby fields of millet, chilies, peanuts (groundnuts), and tobacco. Vegetable-oil and textile mills, tobacco factories, and a cement factory are located there. Nearby are the ancient Buddhist monuments (dating from the 1st to 3rd century CE) at Amaravati and Nagarjunakonda
