The History of Chennai Villages
Chennai was originally known as Chennai Patnam (in the Tamil language), which was a part of Thondaimandalam. During the 17th Century, the East India Company made its headquarters at Fort St. George. Chennai City Started taking shape with the inclusion of a few scattered villages like Mylapore, Triplicane, and Chennaipatnam and developed into a modern metropolitan city as Madras Presidency.
Between 1755 and 1763, Chennai City was developed with the trading corporation, incorporated isolated towns, established ports and factories. From 1799 onwards, the villages and other places scattered around Chennai get agglomerated gradually with Chennai City.
