History
Along with Avadi, Ambattur, Sembium, and Ennore, Tiruvottiyur is part of the "auto belt" in the city's industrial north and west regions that developed when the automobile industry developed in Madras during the early post-World War II years. In earlier days, Tiruvottiyur was known as Ottriyur since it was near the center of Chennai city. In April 2018, the state government transferred Tiruvottiyur to an expanded Chennai district.
