Since the 1990s, the formation of the new Tiruppur district had been urged by the exporters of Tiruppur.[2]Tiruppur city and surrounding region, where there is considerable industrial and business activities, was to be the core area. They believed that a new district would facilitate administration of the region and allow more aggressive development measures.[2] Tiruppur district was formed in 2009, carved out of the Coimbatore and Erodedistricts making it the 32nd district of Tamil Nadu[3] and one of the ten most industrialised and economically developed districts of Tamil Nadu.[2]

To the south the district is surrounded by Kerala state (Idukki district). The district has an area of 5187 sq.km.
