Erode District is one of the 38 districts in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It was the largest district by area in the state before the formation of Tirupur district in 2009 and is the third largest by area, as of 2024. The headquarters of the district is Erode. The district is divided into two revenue divisions, Erode and Gobichettipalayam, and is further subdivided into 10 taluks.

The district is landlocked and lies towards the mid of the Indian peninsula and is bordered by the state of Karnataka to the north. Western Ghats pass through the region and is watered by Kaveri River which meets its major tributary Bhavani in the district. It covers an area of 6,036 km2 (2,331 sq mi), and had a population of 2,251,744 as per the 2011 census. The major spoken language is Kongu Tamil, a dialect of Tamil. Hinduism is the major religion with nearly 94% adherents.

Archeological evidence from Kodumanal indicate that the region was ruled by the Cheras during the Sangam period (2nd century BCE to third century CE) and it formed part of a ancient Roman trade route. The region was ruled by the Pandyas before the medieval Cholas conquered it in the tenth century. The region was ruled by Vijayanagara Empire in the fifteenth century followed by the Nayaks who introduced the Palayakkarar system. In the later part of the eighteenth century, the region came under the Kingdom of Mysore and after the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the British East India Company annexed the region to the Madras Presidency in 1799. The region played a prominent role in the Second Polygar War (1801) when it was the area of operations of Dheeran Chinnamalai. The district was part of the erstwhile Coimbatore district and came into existence on 17 September 1979.

The economy of the district is based predominantly on agriculture and textiles. The district is the top turmeric producer in Tamil Nadu, making up 43% of statewide production and is also a major producer of plantain, coconuts and white silk. The district is known for handloom and ready-made textile products. Erode Turmeric and Bhavani Jamakkalam are recognized Geographical Indications.

History

[edit]

Archaeological excavations from Kodumanal on the banks of the Noyyal River show traces of civilization from 4th century BCE.[3][4] Kodumanal is mentioned in Patiṟṟuppattu literature from the first century CE as a thriving industrial and commercial center.[5] The evidence indicates that the region was ruled by the Cheras during the Sangam period (2nd century BCE to 3rd century CE) and it formed part of a ancient Roman trade route.[6][7] The region came under the influence of the Pandyas during the reign of Arikesari Maravarman in the seventh century CE.[8] Later, the region was ruled by various dynasties such as Rashtrakutas and Western Gangas.[9]

The medieval Cholas conquered the Kongu Nadu in the 10th century CE.[10] While the region was directly under the control of the Imperial Cholas till 1064 CE, the Kongu Cholas who were probably vassals or viceroys of the Cholas, ruled the region autonomously later starting.[10] These rulers bore the title Konattar and adopted Chola titles and surnames.[11] In the 13th century CE, after the death of Vikrama Chola II, the Pandyas under Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan I annexed the region.[12] The rule of the Pandyas came to an end with the death of Maravarman Kulasekara Pandyan I in 1318 CE.[13] The Hoysalas ruled the region for sometime later with Vira Someshwara having a matrimonial alliance with both Pandyas and Cholas. After the defeat of Veera Ballala III of the Hoysalas, the region came under the control of the Delhi Sultanate.[14] In the 15th century, Vijayanagara empire defeated the Mughals and established sway over the region.[15][16]

After the Vijayanagara empire fell in 1646, the region was ruled by various Nayak governors of the erstwhile Vijayanagara empire who declared independence. They introduced the Palayakkarar system under which the region was divided into 24 Palayams(towns).[17] In the later part of the 18th century, the region came under the Kingdom of Mysore and after the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the British East India Company annexed the region to the Madras Presidency in 1799.[18] The region played a prominent role in the Second Polygar War (1801) when it was the area of operations of Dheeran Chinnamalai.[19] Later, the British Empire took control of the region from the British East India Company in 1857.[20] After Indian Independence in 1947, the region was part of the Madras State, which later became Tamil Nadu.[21] The district was part of the erstwhile Coimbatore district and came into existence on 17 September 1979.[1]

Geography

[edit]

The district is landlocked, and is situated roughly at the center of the Indian Peninsula between latitude 10 36" and 11 58" north and between longitude 76 49" and 77 58" east. It is bordered by Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka State in the north. To the east, across the Kaveri River, lies Salem and Namakkal districts. It is bordered by Karur district in the southeast, Tirupur district in the south with Coimbatore and Nilgiris districts in to the west.[22]

Map of the region c.1955

Western Ghats runs through the district and it is straddled by Eastern Ghats which is separated by Moyar River.[23] The region comprises the high altitude regions of the north sloping gently towards a long undulating plain in the south. Bhavani River cuts the district roughly in the middle, flowing from west to east. It enters the district at Sathyamangalam, crossing Gobichettipalayam taluk before joining the Kaveri River flowing from the north, near the eastern edge at Bhavani.[24][25] The river feeds the Bhavanisagar reservoir and Kodiveri Dam are major dams, which along with a canal system provide irrigation and drainage for the district.[26][27][28] The other major tributaries of the Kaveri including the Noyyal and Amaravati, emerge from the mountains in the west.[29]

Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, one of the largest protected reserves

The region has a tropical climate and the climate is characterized by dry weather throughout the year, except during the monsoons. The region depends on monsoons for rainfall. In March, the temperature begins to rise, which persists until the end of May, with the highest temperatures recorded during the period.[30] The average maximum temperature is 39 °C (102 °F) and the average minimum temperature is 21 °C (70 °F). The south-west monsoon winds passing through the Palghat gap loses most of its moisture when reaching the district and the region receives about 238 mm (9.4 in) of rainfall in the months from June to August from the south-west monsoon.[31][32] After a warm and foggy September, the north-east monsoon starts from October, lasting until early November.[33] The district gets most of its rainfall from the north-east monsoon, averaging about 287 mm (11.3 in) annually. The district gets a total average annual rainfall of 652 mm (25.7 in).[32]

The major soil types found here are loamy soil and clay soil.[32] The northern part of the district incorporating parts of Sathyamangalam and Gobichettipalayam taluks form the Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, part of Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve and is the largest protected area in Tamil Nadu.[34][35] The region has one of the largest Indian Elephant and Bengal Tiger populations in the country.[36][37][38]
