Theni District was formed by the bifurcation from erstwhile Madurai District as per G.O.M.s.No.679 Revenue Department Dated: 07.07.1996. Consequent to the bifurcation, one new Revenue Division with headquarters at Uthamapalayam and two new Taluks at Theni and Bodinayakannur were also created with effect from 01.01.1997. The city of Theni is the district headquarters. The region covered by present –day Theni District was sparsely populated before the 1900s. In 1886 Mullaiperiyar Dam project brought some part of the water from Periyar River downhill to the Cumbum Valley. District Disaster Management Authority Theni District 1 District Disaster Management Plan - 2017 Also to be noted that Theni itself was a small though lesser-known town by the 1900s. After the Mullai Periyar project lots of people from nearby dry arid regions (Sivakasi, Kovilpatti, Virudhunagar, Sattur and several nearby towns) settled in Cumbum-Valley (present day Theni District). So there was influx of people by the 1890s to 1920s. Bodi and Periyakulam were famous places at that time. Later Theni developed rapidly due to lots of business activities. The district headquarters is situated at Theni. And there are two divisional headquarters one at Periyakulam and another one at Uthamapalyam. The district is administratively divided into 5 Taluks and taluks grouped into two sub-divisions.
