Chennoor has one of the earliest settlements, located on the banks of Godavari river. During the Godavari Pushkara times thousands of pilgrims come here to perform rituals. Generally Godavari flows from west to east but the Godavari river in Chenoor flows towards the north for 5 Kosa (15 km) hence it is known as "Panchkosi Uttara Wahini".
The place has cultural relations with villages that have similar features - Manthini, Dharmapuri and Kaleswaram.
The ancient temple "shivalayam" is also known as Agasteshwaralayam. It is believed that Agasta Muni has performed Tapasya here on the bank of River Godavari. This is believed to be built by Thimmarusu, during the Krishna devaraya times in the 16th century. Some of the other temples popular here are round temple, Jagannatha aalayam, Bada Hanuman.
