Samasthanam was extended and developed during the reign of Raja Venkata Narasimha Reddy. Construction of Jaksani Naganna Bavi (stepwell) in Lingampet village was also carried out during his reign.

Rani Shankaramma was a legendary ruler of Pappanapet Samasthanam. Building a strong and large army, she protected the people in the Nizam’s territory and fought against the Maharashtrians who tortured and collected tax from them. The Nizam granted the title of Rayanbhag to Rani Shankaramma for safeguarding and protecting the people and kingdom. Rani Shankaramma can be likened to Rani Rudramadevi, yet another fearless and powerful queen of the Kakatiya dynasty. She also constructed many huge lakes and canals for agricultural development.
