The early history of Tamil Nadu was dominated by the Cheras, Cholas, Pandyas (the 'moondru venthar' -Three Kings) and the Pallavas.

These ambitious rulers of this region were fighting constantly with one another over supremacy until the coming of the Europeans. Among the Europeans the British established a trading post in a small fishing village called Madras Pattinam on the eastern coast of India.
