==History of Surapet==
This area, once a separate [[panchayat]] that comes under [[Puzhal]] Panchayat, now comes under Chennai corporation, numbered as "24th ward" and it belongs to the Madhavaram constituency.

About 200 years ago people from a village of same name ''Surapet'' near '''[[Sholavaram]]''' migrated to this village due to poverty in their home place and named the same name to this village also.

==Included in Chennai District==
The city has been growing both in size and population. The number of territorial Divisions have grown from 30 with 68 Sq.km in 1901 to 200 divisions with 426 Sq.Km in 2011.The population of the city has gone up from 5.40 lakhs in 1901 to approximately 65 lakhs in 2011.

Therefore, the Government decided to expand the boundaries of the Corporation from 174sq.km to an extent of 426 sq.km by amalgamating 9 Municipalities, 8 Town Panchayats and 25 Village Panchayats adjacent to the Chennai and issued orders in G.O. (MS) No.256, MA & WS (Election2) Department dated 26.12.2009 and G.O. (MS) No.280, MA & WS (Election) Department dated 09.11.2010.

On 15 June 2011, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister of India to expand the city limits of Chennai by which the Surapet would come under the new scheme.

Since 2011, it is part of Chennai Corporation as Zone 3 and 24th ward.

Surapet was attached to the [[Greater Chennai Corporation|Chennai Corporation]] in 2011, aiding in its development.

In January 2018, the state government announced that the district will be expanded to match the boundaries of the Greater Chennai Corporation. This will integrate six additional taluks from Tiruvallur and Kanchipuram districts into the Chennai district. Surapet is disattached from Tiruvallur to Chennai District.
