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 however things were kept only on paper and in 1980 it was upgraded as Special Grade Municipality with an same area of just 8.4 km2. [1]

In 2007, the State Government announced the upgradation of Erode Municipality as a Municipal Corporation. Erode Municipal Corporation started functioning from the first of 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.
