During the British colonial period , Pallupattu was part of the Chittoor district of the Madras presidency . After Indian independence, the place came in 1953 together with the Chittoor district to the newly founded state of Andhra (from 1956 Andhra Pradesh) from the Telugu-speaking northern part of the state of Madras . Because of its predominantly Tamil population, Pallipattu, together with Tiruttani, was added to the state of Madras (renamed Tamil Nadu in 1969), which had meanwhile been reorganized according to the language borders of Tamil.
