history

During the British colonial era , the Taluk Tiruttani belonged initially to the North Arcot district and later to the Chittoor district of the Madras presidency, founded in 1911 . When, after Indian independence, the borders of the states were re-formed according to the language borders, the affiliation of Tiruttani became a matter of dispute. In 1953 the Taluk Tiruttani and the rest of the Chittoor district came to the state of Andhra , which was formed from the Telugu-speaking northern part of Madras , from which the state of Andhra Pradesh emerged in 1956 . Because of its predominantly Tamil population, the Taluk Tiruttani, together with the Taluk Pallipattu, was again added to the state of Madras (renamed Tamil Nadu in 1969) , which had meanwhile been reorganized according to the language borders of Tamil . The Taluk was incorporated into the Chengalpattu district, from whose northern part the Tiruvallur district emerged in 1997 .
