Tambaram is an ancient town referred to as Taamapuram in an inscription of the 13th century. There are many other places of historical interest more ancient than Old Tambaram within a radius of about 10 kms from it. Implements of Stone Age men have been found in this area and also large stone monuments of the Iron Age. The earliest Pallava stone inscription and a Pallava temple of the 7th century A.D. are found here. Sekkilar, the author of Periapuranam lived here and Sriperumbudoor the birth place of Ramanuja the Vaishnava saint is not very far from this area.

One of the famous battles of Pallava history was fought in this region. The later Cholas, the Pandiasand the Vijayanagar kings also ruled this region. Even the flowers in the jungle are connected with our history. During February and March the beautiful pink and white flowers of the aathondai or thondai creepers (Capparis zeylanica)1 adorn the campus. The region of thondai nadu comprising mainly Madras and Chinglepet districts derives its name from this flower from which garlands of the famous Pallava kings were made.
