==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The name &#039;&#039;Tiruvallur&#039;&#039; is supposedly derived from the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] sentence &#039;&#039;tiru evvull?&#039;&#039;&amp;amp;nbsp;– &#039;&#039;Tiru&#039;&#039; meaning &#039;&#039;god&#039;&#039;, a common prefix in South India for temple towns, and &#039;&#039;evvull&#039;&#039; meaning &#039;&#039;where do I sleep?&#039;&#039;. &#039;&#039;Tiruvallur&#039;&#039; is said to mean a place or town where the god Veera Raghavar asked a saint for a place to sleep for a night.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}{{according to whom|date=March 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In one telling of the story, a rishi (sage) named Saalihothirar came down from Badrinath, now in Uttaranchal State, and settled in this place in order to reach Paramapadam (the abode of Lord Mahavisnu). He bathed in Hiruthaapanasana Theertham and started the vow of silence (mouna viratham) for one year. Daily he collected rice and after a year of fasting, he purified and cooked the rice, offering some to God (Naivedhyam) and duly kept the rest for himself. He waited for a guest, probably a muni or rishi, so that he could invite him to eat and end his fasting.&lt;br /&gt;
At that time the God Narayana, intending to test the devotion of the rishi, came there as an old muni looking very hungry and thirsty. On seeing him, Saalihothirar greeted him and offered a portion of the rice he had kept for himself, but Narayana wanted the entire quantity of rice. Saalihothirar was very happy to give all of the food to his guest, starving himself. After eating the food, Narayana asked, &amp;quot;where do I sleep?&amp;quot; (Tamil: Ev-uL-uRangalAm). Saalihothirar asked him to sleep in his own hut.&amp;lt;!-- In Tamil = &#039;Ev&#039; (எவ்) = which / &#039;uL&#039; (உள்) = place / room / uRangalAm (உறங்கலாம்) could sleep. Tiru (திரு) is a prefix before name of any holy place. ur ( ஊர்) means a place/village. Therefore, திரு+எவ்+உள்+ஊர் transmute as திருவள்ளூர். --&amp;gt;{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
In the far past, this region was under a chain of regimes commencing from the Pallavas during the 7th century. In 1687, the Golkonda rulers were defeated and the region came under the Moghul emperors of Delhi. The towns and villages of this region were the scene of Carnatic wars. Battles are said to have been fought in this region during the struggle for supremacy between the English and French. The town of Pulicat was the earliest Dutch possession in India, founded in 1609; it was ceded to the British in 1825. British rule continued until India&#039;s independence in 1947.&lt;br /&gt;
