Origins
Primarily Traders by Occupation they seem to have been formed by a small Social Change that seem to have occurred among some sections of the Kapu community. According to some Historians, the Original Balijas seem to have migrated from the Balijipeta, Vizianagaram District.
Veera Balaingyas were mentioned in Kakatiya inscriptions. They were powerful and wealthy merchants who were highly respected in Kakatiyan society. The Balijas had the title Setty and were primarily Tax collectors and Merchants. Most of the Balijas refer themsleves as Kapu/Telaga in Andhra and as Munnuru Kapu in Telangana. But in Rayalaseema Area they call themselves Balija/Setty Balija/Balija Naidu here Kapu refers to another Community.

There is a king named thirumalai in Madurai . He saved Madurai from muslim invasion and renovated world famous Madurai Meenakshi Amman temple. He belongs to balijas.
Balija's are originally having the roots from Vijaya nagara kingdom. Later they became Tanjavur, Madhura and Vinji Nayaka kings. Historians tell this. All the forward communities communities came from Kapu community and later named themselves as Reddis, kammas velamas etc depending on the service they offered to the particular kingdoms in 17th century.
