North Arcot

North Arcot is a former district in India. He was from 1801 to 1989 and covered the area of present-day districts of Vellore and Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu.

The District North Arcot came into being in 1801, when the Nawab of Arcot, who had previously dominated the northern parts of present-day Tamil Nadu, its territories ceded to the British East India Company. The area of Arcot was divided into the districts of North Arcot and South Arcot and placed under the Madras Presidency. After Indian independence, the district North Arcot came in the wake of the States Reorganisation Act, 1956 to the newly formed State of Madras, which now included the Tamil-speaking areas and was renamed Tamil Nadu in 1969. 1989, the District of North Arcot was in the districts of North Arcot Ambedkar (now Vellore district ) (now Tiruvannamalai district ) divided and Tiruvannamalai - Sambuvarayar.
