[[File:Tiruvarur temple car festival 2010.jpg|thumb|right|Thiruvarur temple car]]
The Thiruvarur district, along with the Nagapattinam district was part of the Thanjavur District before 1991. After that, the present [[Taluk]]s of Thiruvarur district and Nagapattinam district were separated from the Thanjavur District, and formed the Nagapattinam district. The present Thiruvarur district was formed in 1997 by bifurcating the then Nagapattinam District and joined valangaiman taluk of thanjavur district.<ref>{{Cite web|title=District Survey Report of Thiruvarur District|url=https://cdn.s3waas.gov.in/s3e46de7e1bcaaced9a54f1e9d0d2f800d/uploads/2019/06/2019061873.pdf|publisher=Department of Geology and Mining Thiruvarur District}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|author=Mohan, Gopu|date=5 April 2011|title=Boyhood friend waits for CM to come home|newspaper=The Financial Express|page=[http://www.financialexpress.com/news/boyhood-friend-waits-for-cm-to-come-home/771531/3 3]|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/news/boyhood-friend-waits-for-cm-to-come-home/771531}}</ref> Major towns are:
