General Characteristics of the District Originally Coimbatore District formed part of the Kongu country, the history of which dates back to the Sangam age. It is found that in early days the area was inhabi ted by tribes, the most predomina nt among them being the Kosars who are reported to have had their headquarters at Kosampathur which probably later became the present Coimbatore . However, tribal predominance did not last long as they were over-run by the Rashtra Kutas. From Rashtrakutas the region fell into the h ands of the Cholas w ho were in prominence at the time of Raja Raja Chola.

3 On the decline of Cholas the Kongu te rri tory was o ccupied by the C halukyas and then by the Pandyas and the cysalas. Due to internal strife in the Pandyan kingdom the Muslim rulers from Delhi happened to interfere. Thus the area fell into the hands of Madurai Sultanate from whom the Vijayanagar rulers wrestled for the r egion during 1377-78 after overthrowing the Madurai Sultanate. For a few years the area remained u nder independent control of Madurai Nayaks. Then Kongu r egion fell into the hands of the Mysore rulers from whom hyder Ali took over the area. However, consequent on the fall of Tippu Sultan of Mysore in 1799, the Kongu region came to be ceded to the East India Company by the Maharaja of Mysore who was restored to power by the East India Company after defeati ng Tippu Sultan. From then t ill 1947 when I ndia attained Indepe ndence, the region remained under British co ntrol who initiated systematic revenue administration in the area.
