Ooty


Udhagamandalam (sometimes Ootacamund ()), sometimes abbreviated Udhagai and better known as Ooty (), is a town, a municipality, and the district capital of the Nilgiris district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located 80 km north of Coimbatore. It is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills. Originally occupied by the Todas, the area came under the rule of the East India Company at the end of the 18th century. Today, the town's economy is based on tourism and agriculture, along with manufacture of medicines and photographic film. The town is connected to the rest of India by road and rail, and its historic sites and natural beauty attract tourists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ooty in Tamilnadu )〕 As of 2011, the town had a population of 88,430.
==Etymology==
The origin of the name Udhagamandalam is obscure. The first mention of the place occurs in a letter of March 1821 to the Madras Gazette from an unknown correspondent as ''Wotokymund''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】History )〕 In early times it was called ''OttaikalMandu.'' "Mund" is the Tamil word for a Toda village, and the first part of the name is probably a corruption of the local name for the central region of the Nilgiri Plateau. Another likely origin of the stem of the name (''Ootaca'') comes from the local language in which ''Otha-Cal'' literally means ''Single Stone''. This is perhaps a reference to a sacred stone revered by the local Toda people. The name probably changed under British rule from Udhagamandalam to Ootacamund, and later was shortened to Ooty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Ooty History )
