Tirupur city is the administrative headquarters of this district. Tirupur has carved its name in the Indian history even before her independence. Tiruppur Kumaran, one of the freedom fighters was killed during lathi charge when he was on a patriotic march in K
umaran road without letting kown Indian national flag. It still remains as a great inspiration to its people. Another incident is that C.N. Ahhadurai, former chief minister of Tamilnadu met Periyar E. V. Ramasamy for the first time in
Tirupur during Periyar’s campaign which is conside

It is also clear from the old name of Dharapuram which is "Viradapuram", where the name is also been quoted in verses of Mahabaratham. Evidences of ancient city of Tiruppur has been collected as coins and old pottery items found in many places of the modern city duri

It is evident from it that the land around Tiruppur was fertile and thus agriculture flourished in the region. That's why today too Tiruppur is a centre for trading of cotton, vegetables etc. The Visveswaraswamy temple at the heart of the city is one of the oldest temples in this region.
