Coimbatore district

Coimbatore is an administrative territory in Tamil Nadu that stretches from lowlands to the slopes of the Western Ghats mountain range. The area includes several towns such as Pollachi and Mettupalayam, covering a wide region with varied terrain and dense settlement.

The British East India Company took control of the territory following military campaigns against Tipu Sultan and established an administrative center here in 1804. Since then the region has grown into a major economic and industrial hub in southern India.

The district maintains strong textile manufacturing traditions, earning recognition as the Manchester of South India with over 25,000 industrial facilities.

The international airport connects this territory with other cities across India and makes it easier for visitors arriving from different parts of the country. Municipal services are organized through several administrative zones to meet the daily needs of residents and travelers passing through.

Tamil Nadu Agricultural University has its main campus here and conducts research in farming and rural development. The region also produces specialized kitchen equipment such as wet grinders that have been granted geographical indication protection.
