Kovai : ウィキペディア英語版
Coimbatore

Coimbatore, also known as Kovai (:koːʋəj), is a major city in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is the second largest city and urban agglomeration in the state after Chennai〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tamil Nādu (India): State, Major Cities, Towns & Agglomerations - Statistics & Maps on City Population )〕 and the sixteenth largest urban agglomeration in India. It is administered by the Coimbatore Municipal Corporation and is the administrative capital of Coimbatore district. It is one of the fastest growing tier-II cities in India and a major textile, industrial, commercial, educational, information technology, healthcare and manufacturing hub of Tamil Nadu. It is often referred to as the "Manchester of South India" due to its cotton production and textile industries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nicknames of places in India )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manchester of South India )〕 Coimbatore is also referred to as "the Pump City" as it supplies two thirds of India's requirements of motors and pumps. The city is one of the largest exporters of jewellery, wet grinders, poultry and auto components and the term "Coimbatore Wet Grinder" has been given a Geographical indication.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=India's Gems and Jewellery Market is Glittering )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Industry of Coimbatore )〕 The city is located on the banks of Noyyal river surrounded by the Western Ghats.
Coimbatore was the capital city of the historical Kongu Nadu and was ruled by the Cheras as it served as the eastern entrance to the Palakkad Gap, the principal trade route between the west coast and Tamil Nadu. Coimbatore was in the middle of the Roman trade route that extended from Muziris to Arikamedu in South India. The medieval Cholas conquered the Kongu Nadu in the 10th century CE. The region was ruled by Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century followed by the Nayaks who introduced the Palayakkarar system under which Kongu nadu region was divided into 24 ''Palayams''. In the later part of the 18th century, the Coimbatore region came under the Kingdom of Mysore and following the defeat of Tipu Sultan in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, the British East India Company annexed Coimbatore to the Madras Presidency in 1799. The Coimbatore region played a prominent role in the Second Poligar War (1801) when it was the area of operations of Dheeran Chinnamalai. In 1804, Coimbatore was established as the capital of the newly formed Coimbatore district and in 1866 it was accorded municipality status with Robert Stanes as its Chairman. The city experienced a textile boom in the early 19th century due to the decline of the cotton industry in Mumbai. Post independence, Coimbatore has seen rapid growth due to industrialisation.
Coimbatore was ranked the best emerging city in India by India Today in the 2014 annual Indian city survey. The city has been ranked 4th among Indian cities in investment climate by CII〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Indian cities by investment climate )
and ranked 17th among the top global outsourcing cities by Tholons.
== Etymology ==
There are multiple theories regarding the origin of the name. According to one theory, ''Coimbatore'' is a derivation of ''Kovanputhur'' (literally 'new town of Kovan'), after chieftain ''Kovan'' or ''Koyan'', who ruled the region around the city. ''Kovanputhur'' evolved into ''Koyambatoor'', which was anglicized as ''Coimbatore''. Another theory states that the name could have been derived from ''Koniamman''. ''Koyamma'', the goddess worshiped by Koyan evolved into ''Kovaiamma'' and later ''Koniamma''.
