Viluppuram, Villupuram, or Vizhuppuram[3] (Tamil: [ʋiɻɯppɯɾam] ⓘ) is a municipality and the administrative headquarters of Viluppuram district.

Located 61 kilometres (38 mi) south west of a Tiruvannamalai and 40 kilometres (25 mi) north west of Cuddalore null The town serves as a major and largest railway junction, and National Highway 45 passes through it. Agriculture is a main source of income.

In 1919, Villupuram was officially constituted as a Municipality which today comprises 42 wards, making it the largest City in Viluppuram district.[6]

History

In 1677, Shivaji took Gingee area with the assistance of Golkonda forces. Later in 18th century, both the English and French acquired settlements in South Arcot. During the Anglo-French rivalry, the entire district was turned into a war land. After some time, the entire area came under the control of East India Company. It remained under British authority till 1947 when India became independent.[7]

After independence, the district as we know it today, was part of the larger South Arcot District headquartered at Cuddalore . On 30 September 1993, Villupuram became the headquarters of the newly created Vizhuppuram District as a result of the division of the South Arcot District.[8]
