==Early history==
Dharapuram was part of the Chera kingdom until 850 A.D. From 1000 A.D. to 1275 A.D., the area was ruled by the Kongu Cholas who renamed Dharapuram as Vanchipuri. The Cholan capital was under attack by a hitherto unknown group in South India, called Kalabhars. As a result, the Kongu Cholas made Dharapuram their military and political headquarters. The Thanjavur Cholas named the city as Rajarajapuram. After 1276 A.D. the Pandyan empire took control of the region. The Muslims (Modern Sulthans) ruled next, after which the Nayaks of Madurai ruled. They were followed by Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan. In 1799, when Tippu fell to the British, the East Indian Company took over administration of this region.
The Viradapuram Raja built a fort in the heart of Vanchipuri. The Muslims (Modern Sulthans) ruled next, after which the Nayaks of Madurai ruled. They were followed by Hyder Ali and Tippu Sultan. In 1799, when Tippu fell to the British, the East Indian Company took over administration of this region. The British stationed their military camp in Therpatti on the Palani road, regularly practicing rifle firing in the Kannimar Hills. The buildings that were used by them are sill remains there in the village. Which is 10KM from dharapuram. The ancient foundry of the Chera, Kongu Nadu (Kollan Pattari), is also found in the same village. Kollan pattari is now named as kollapatti.
