It is the smallest and the most densely populated district in the state. The district is coterminous with the city of [[Chennai]], which is administered by the [[Greater Chennai Corporation]]. It is surrounded by [[Tiruvallur district]] in the north and the west, [[Kanchipuram district]] in the south-west, [[Chengalpattu district|Chenglpattu district]] in the south, and the [[Bay of Bengal]] in the east.  


Chennai is a [[megacity]] and local government district that contains the historic centre and the [[Central business district]] (CBD) of [[Chennai metropolitan area]]. It constituted most of [[Chennai metropolitan area|Chennai]] from its settlement by the peoples in the 1st century CE to the [[Middle Ages]], but the city has since grown much since then. The city forms a small part of the [[Chennai metropolitan area|metropolis of Chennai]], though it remains a notable part of central Chennai metropolitan area.
As of 2011, the district had a population of 4,646,732 with a sex-ratio of 989 females for every 1,000 males.<ref name="dchb-b" /> Much of the district's population descended from its settlements in the 1st century CE to the [[Middle Ages]], but the diversity has grown much since then. The district consists of only one civic body, the [[megacity]] of Chennai, which forms the core and the most notable portion of the much bigger Chennai [[metropolis]], or officially, the [[Chennai Metropolitan Area]]. In 2018, the district's limits were expanded, aligning with that of the newly expanded Greater Chennai Corporation, which had annexed adjacent municipalities. It resulted in the area being increased from {{convert|175|km2|mi2}} to {{convert|426|km2|mi2}}.<ref name="TH-5Jan" /><ref name="ToI-19Jan">{{cite news|last1=Yogesh|first1=Kabirdoss|title=Chennai district boundaries likely to be redrawn on April 1|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/chennai-district-boundaries-likely-to-be-redrawn-on-april-1/articleshow/62560754.cms|work=The Times of India|date=19 January 2018 |access-date=23 November 2019}}</ref> The district is divided into three [[revenue division]]s and ten [[taluk]]s.
