When the British set up a factory here they kept the name of Paragana to their establishment. It was also mentioned that the original name of this place was kamprapalom (i.e. Kāpulapālem).[3] Incidentally, Kapulapalem is the village situated next to Injaram towards east of it. Injaram Paragana was one of the 24 Paraganas of Rajahmundry Sarkar. It was referred as Vinjaram, Injeram,[4] Ingeram,[5] Angerang[6] and Ingiron[7] in olden days.
