Well...it was Vizagpatnam in the British time... after independence it became Visakhapatnam (also Vishakapatnam)...due the rather lengthy name..it is nowadays called with its (unofficial) former name Vizag.....
The other interesting thing is .. it is also called as waltair (after some British guy)...infact the railway and Bus subdivisions of the area are still called as Waltair subdivisions.
