It is one of the villages in the mandal to be a part of Andhra Pradesh Capital Region. Geographically, it is 8 kilometres north of Gudivada and directly adjacent to the town of Sreenivasapuram.

The average literacy rate stands at 75.30% with 1,692 literates, significantly higher than the national average of 73.00%.
Nandivada was predominantly Hindu for centuries. According to census records, prior to 1911, no Christians were recorded to have resided in Nandivada village. In 2001 it was recorded that all Madigas and 61% of Malas, historically untouchable castes, were Christian.
A Chidananda ashram was built in the village in 1966 with land allotted by Sri Adusumilli Nagayya. The ashram was run by Nagayya's daughter, Smt. Dasari Meenakshamma, from 1969 to 1996, and was later taken over by her son and is now run by her daughter-in-law. It was said people from as far as Mopidevi would travel to the ashram.
Initially, Nandivada had a substantial Christian population, mostly gained during the Great Depression as converts to Christianity were often given land by missionaries. However, as of the 2011 census, the Christian population decreased.
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. Adusumilli Ankanna was also a distant relative of Adusumilli Lingayya, who built the Nagendra Swamy Temple in Nandivada. Ankanna's daughter, "Mooga" Mahalakshmamma, was married to Vemulapalli Pedda Kodandaramayya. Thereafter, all village munsifs came from the Vemulapalli family, until the munsif system was abolished. The position of Karanam was held by the Brahmin Nandivada family from the early 20th century until the position's abolition.
Many freedom fighters originated from or held activities in Nandivada.
On 25 May 1932, Nutakki Sitaramamma (1914–1934), Surapaneni (née Punukula) Venkata Subbamma (born 1912), and Chagarlamudi (née Vellanki) Kameswaramma were arrested at Nandivada.
