During the British regime, it was a terminal station connecting
Tirupattur in the narrow gauge system running via
Krishnagiri, another major business centre in those old golden days. After
World War II, the railway line was dismantled. Then the line was further extended to
Dharmapuri via
Palacode. And the line was further extended to
Bangalore 20 years ago. Now it is one of the major stops in Bangalore–Dharmapuri BG line. == Projects and development ==
