History
The name Vellore is derived from the Tamil words : Vel (spear) + oore (city), means a city of spears. Ancient history shows that Vellore was basically a battle field, where the warriors used to fight. Due to the geography of the place, with high temperature and plain desert like sandy region, the place was always left with the used weapons like spears all around the year, and the fences made of the spears which are made for the animals like elephants and horses, to prevent them from running off during night times, so it is called as velaioore and in later called as velai managaram.[citation needed]. In another version, name vellore is supposed to have been derived from some form precious stone which had similar sounding name. There are megalithic, proto-historical evidences in and around vellore for such a semi-precious stone industry being prevalent in ancient times.
Vellore has the blend of rich heritage and culture representing the ancient Dravidian civilization. Vellore had the privilege of being the seat of the Pallavas, Cholas, Nayak, Marathas, Arcot Nawabs and Bijapur Sultan Kingdoms. Vellore was once capital city of Vijayanagar empire during 1606-1672. It was described as the best and the strongest fortress in the Carnatic War in the 17th Century. The Vellore Mutiny of 1806 was one of the earliest upsurges against the British rule in India. Vellore District had always been on the forefront in the struggle for freedom. The Sepoy Mutiny of 1806 A.D. that broke out inside the Vellore fort against the British authority is considered to be a prelude to the Great Revolt of 1857, which is often described by some historians as the The First Indian War of Independence.This part of history is not well known to the people but adds to the rich heritage of Vellore.
The monuments found in the district give a vivid picture of the town through the ages.
