==Etymology==
[[Etymology|Etymologically]], the name of the city is believed to have been mutated possibly from "Tumbe ooru" because of the abundance of thumbe hoovu, a kind of flower, or thamate ooru because of the folk musical percussion instrument thamate, that might have been used most here. It is also called the city of education and Coconuts (due to the abundance of coconut trees in the area)

Another story says that during the rule of cholas Gulur was their capital. Since Tumkur is at high elevation the guards used to be there on any hill with tumaki (a kind of drum) and used to make sound in case of any alerts, hence the name. The Indian central government approved the request to officially rename the Tumkur and 12 other cities in October 2014. The city officially became "Tumakuru" on 1 November 2014.<ref>{{cite news|last1=New City|first1=Names to Karnatka|title=New name for cities|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/from-bangalore-to-bengaluru/article6553314.ece|accessdate=1 November 2014|newspaper=The Hindu}}</ref>

The known history of the Tumkur district begins with the Gangas.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tumkur.nic.in/en/history/|title=History {{!}} District Tumkur, Government of Karnataka|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-26}}</ref> The Ganga family ruled over the southern and eastern districts of the state from early in the Christian era to 1025&nbsp;AD. The earliest record of The Ganga family found in this district belongs to about 400 A.D. After the Gangas, Tumkur was ruled by the Rastrakutas and The Chalukyas. The Nolambas under these rulers ruled the area for a long time. The cholas also ruled some parts of the district. The Vijayanagara Empire ruled supreme for the latter part of the 13th to 17th century. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Tumkur was ruled by The Wodeyars of Mysore until independence.


The Tumkur town municipality was set up by the Mysore Wodeyars in the 1916. Self-rule of the residents of Tumkur started after the setting up of the municipality. Tumkur was converted into a city corporation only in 2010 by adding 22 villages adjoining the city. The population is 3,05,877 as per the 2011 census. Tumkur is now a middle class majority city, with a literacy rate of 80%, mainly traders, government employees, small and medium industrialists, and self-employed individuals.

Iron ore, manganese and granite are the major minerals found in the Tumkur district.

Due to its proximity to [[Bangalore|Bengaluru]], it acts as a gateway to North [[Karnataka]], being on the [[Chennai]] – [[Mumbai]] industrial corridor and the infrastructure that Tumkur provides, it has the potential to be the satellite city to decongest the state capital Bengaluru . It also has been identified as National Investment and Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ). NIMZ of approximately 13500 acres and the HAL helicopter manufacturing facility (Nr Gubbi) 610 acres are being developed as integrated industrial townships with state-of-the art infrastructure and land use on the basis of zoning, clean and energy efficient technology, necessary social infrastructure, and skill development facilities, for promoting world class manufacturing activity. Tumkur is home to 24 large scale industries with an investment of 911.42 crores and generating an employment for 6445 persons. The existing 15 medium scale industries and 23804 micro and small industries employ 132994 persons and account for an investment of close to 790 crores. A 2000 MW of solar power plant on 11000 acres is being developed near Pavagada to cater to the power needs of Tumkur and adjoining districts.
 
Tumkur is a knowledge hub in the south interior of Karnataka. It has Tumkur University, two medical colleges, five engineering colleges, 38 degree and postgraduate colleges, one dental college and many polytechnics, high schools and primary schools.
 
The Indian budget for the year 2014-2015 held on 10 July 2014 announced that Tumkur was one of the cities in south India to be developed as an "Industrial Smart" <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uddkar.gov.in/en/SMART%20Cities%20in%20Karnataka|title=Unauthorized Request Blocked|website=uddkar.gov.in|access-date=2019-03-26}}</ref> city.  The city was also selected as one among the 100 in the country shortlisted for the Smart City project. Tumkur is competing now to be one among the 20 to be taken up for development this year.{{when|date=July 2018}} The government of India has promised 100 crores each as a matching grant for five years and the local body with assistance from the state government has to match another 100 crores. Thus, in five years, development in the amount of 1000 crores will happen in Smart City. The Tumkur District Chamber of Commerce and Industry under the leadership of Surendra Shah, President - 2014-16 is striving to make the City of Tumkur the most aspired city in India.

Tumkur, officially Tumakuru,[5][6] is a city and the headquarters of Tumkur district in Karnataka state, India.[7][8] It is known for the Siddaganga Matha Lingayat monastery. Tumkur hosts India's first mega food park, a project of the ministry of food processing. The India Food Park was inaugurated by Prime Minister of India in September 2014.[9] It is also included in the Smart Cities Mission list and is among the 100 smart cities to be developed in India.[10] Since 28 August 2010, Tumkur has been accorded the status of a city corporation.[11]

Tumkur is an emerging industrial hub in India, and has a large upcoming industrial corridor as well as a Japanese township.[12] A new International stadium is expected to be completed in Tumkur by 2028, where international cricket tournaments can be hosted.[13] The Green Line of the Bengaluru Namma Metro extension is planned to connect with Tumkur after 2030.[14]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Etymologically, the name of the city is believed to have been mutated possibly from "Tumbe ooru" because of the abundance of thumbe hoovu, a kind of flower, or thamate ooru because of the folk musical percussion instrument thamate, that might have been used most here. It is also called Kalpatharu Nadu (land of coconut trees), due to the abundance of coconut trees in the area.[1]

Another story says that during the rule of cholas Gulur was their capital. Since Tumkur is at high elevation the guards used to be there on any hill with tumaki (a kind of drum) and used to make sound in case of any alerts, hence the name. The Indian central government approved the request to officially rename the Tumkur and 12 other cities in October 2014. The city officially became "Tumakuru" on 1 November 2014.[15]

Geography[edit | edit source]

Tumkur is located at 13°20′N 77°06′E / 13.34°N 77.1°E / 13.34; 77.1.[16] Tumkur is a city located in the southern state of Karnataka, India. It is situated at an altitude of around 800 meters above sea level and is located about 70 kilometres northwest of the state capital, Bengaluru.

The surrounding district features elevated terrain intersected by river valleys. The region also contains hilly and forested areas, including the scenic Devarayanadurga hill range.[17]

Agriculture in Tumakuru district is supported by monsoon rainfall and favourable terrain. Major crops cultivated include coconut, areca nut, rice, ragi, groundnut, and several oilseeds.[18]
