Coimbatore is the third largest and one of the top most industrialised cities of Tamilnadu. The city is situated on the banks of the River Noyyal. Coimbatore existed even prior to the 2nd century AD as the capital of a small tribal, Kingdom Kongunad, Until it was brought under Chola control in the 2nd - 3rd century AD by Karikalan, when Kongunad fell to the British along with the rest of the state, its name was changed to Coimbatore. The first textile mill came up as far back as 1888. There are now over a hundred mills.
The city is a Municipal Corporation as well as the district Headquarters. The city has two Members of Legislative Assembly representing the Coimbatore east and west constituencies, but about 20% of the city’s territory is represented by the Nilgiri constituency which runs into the northern part of the city. The city has a Mayor, Deputy
Mayor and several councillors elected by people representing administrative wards, as well as a Corporation Commissioner to administer the city headed by the District Collector. The District court is the highest court of appeal in Coimbatore. Despite being
the largest revenue earning districts, insufficient state government funds have resulted in the city’s basic infrastructure being underdeveloped.
