During the French colonial rule of the island, Andrevoranto was the capital of Andevoranto Province, and sources also described it as a former capital of the Betsimisaraka people in the region. The town was at that point also the junction of a number of important roads, including the key road from the coast to the capital, Antananarivo. Today, the key route of Route nationale 2 from the capital is located west of Andevoranto.
