Egmore
is the Anglicized form of "Ezhumbur" the name of a pre-British era
village situated on the northern banks of the River Coovum. Egmore
first finds mention in the records of the British East India Company. It
has been mentioned as one of the "three old towns", the others being
Purasawalkam and Tondiarpet, which were purchased by the then Governor
of Madras, Elihu Yale (1687-1692) from the Mughal Viceroy, Nawab
Zulfiqar Khan and rented out to prospective tenants.It was not until
1720, that these towns were placed under the direct administration of
the East India Company.
Despite the fact that Egmore had been a part of the East India Company's
possessions since 1720, it was not until the "Golden age of British
rule" stretching from 1858 to 1947 that Egmore witnessed some real growth.The Egmore
Museum was one of the first notable monuments to be constructed here.
The construction of this famous landmark was undertaken immediately
after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. The Connemara Library was created as an
annexure housing the Museum's vast book collection and became
operational in 1896.
Egmore,
in 1796, was the site of the Military Male Orphan Asylum near Madras.
This asylum was headed by Andrew Bell, who invented the Madras System
for schooling there. The Egmore railway station is the second most
important in the state of Tamil Nadu after the Chennai Central Railway
Station. It was constructed in 1908 and functioned as the headquarters of
the now-defunct Madras and South Mahratta Railway. |
