History

Erode Municipal Council came into existence in the year of 1871, covering a mere area of around 8.4 km2. In 1917, Periyar E. V. Ramasamy the then Municipal Chairman of Erode has proposed the expansion of town limits by merging the adjoining local bodies such as Veerappan Chatram, Vairapalayam and Periyasemur. But things were kept only on paper and in 1980 it was upgraded as Special Grade Municipality with the same area of just 8.4 km2. [1]

In 2007, the State Government announced the upgradation of Erode Municipality as a Municipal Corporation. Erode City Municipal Corporation started functioning from 2008, administering the same civic limit of 8.4 km2 covering only the Central Business District which had a population of about 1,59,728. In 2011, four Municipalities (Grade-III) of Surampatti, Veerappan Chatram, Periya Semur, Kasipalayam and the Town Panchayats of BP Agraharam and suriyampalayam along with Thindal, Villarasampatti, Gangapuram, Ellapalayam, Lakkapuram, 46 Pudur and Muthampalayam village panchayats were proposed to be merged with Erode City Municipal Corporation. Later, Lakkapuram and 46 Pudur Panchayats backed up the plan and the Erode City Municipal Corporation expanded to all other civic bodies, over an area of 109.52 km² lying between River Cauvery in the East and NH-544 Bypass in the West, containing more than half-a-million population as per the census of 2011.

Recently, in 2024, the district administration has submitted a proposal to the state government for the expansion of Erode municipal corporation by merging the adjoining village panchayats of Elavamalai, Mettunasuvampalayam, Kathirampatti, Pichandampalayam, Koorapalayam, Lakkapuram and 46 Pudur which will cover an area of 165 sq km.
