When [[Andhra Pradesh]] was formed on 1 November 1956 by merging Andhra State with the Telugu-speaking areas of [[Hyderabad State]], the 140 Members of the Andhra State Legislative Assembly and 105 Members representing the Telugu-speaking areas of Hyderabad State merged to form APLA. At the time of formation, the Legislature was [[unicameral]] with only an Assembly with 301 Members. The first meeting was held on 3 December 1956. Sri Ayyadevara Kaleswara Rao and Palasa Surya Chandra Rao were the first Speaker and the first [[Deputy Speaker]], respectively.

With the formation of the [[Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council|Legislative Council]] on 1 July 1958, the Andhra Pradesh Legislature became [[bicameral]] and remained so until 1 June 1985 when the Legislative Council was dissolved on 31 May 1985 during the period of the Eighth Legislative Assembly and the state legislature once again became unicameral.<ref name="aplegislature" />

On 2 June 2014, the state of Andhra Pradesh was split to form the new state of [[Telangana]]. Andhra Pradesh was allocated 175 legislative seats with the remaining 119 allocated to [[Telangana Legislative Assembly]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2021-08-04 |title=Centre: No increase in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana assembly seats till 2026 |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/centre-no-increase-in-andhra-pradesh-telangana-assembly-seats-till-2026/articleshow/85026499.cms |access-date=2023-03-18 |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=18 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230318025250/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vijayawada/centre-no-increase-in-andhra-pradesh-telangana-assembly-seats-till-2026/articleshow/85026499.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>
