9th century Pandiyas fort structure got a new lease of life.
“The fort’s eastern entrance is the structure that now houses the government museum near the District Police Office. It was in this structure that Kattabomman’s younger brother Oomaithurai was imprisoned. And, the western entrance was used later by the British as their armory.
After independence, it was converted into a police station. Since the police station was sitting atop the 30-foot-wide western entrance compound wall, it was christened as 'Medai Police Station' near Mela Vasal Subramaniya Swamy Temple,” says writer Narumpoonathan
The region Palayamkottai in Tamil is a portmanteau of 'palayam', which refers to a settlement, and 'kottai', which translates to a fort. Historically, Palayamkottai served as the locale of an ancient fort that was employed for the administration of neighbouring districts. Today, the fort lies in ruins and is almost camouflaged by its surrounding old residential edifices. While the classical Tamil pronunciation of the neighbourhood's name is the aforementioned Palayamkottai, the vernacular pronunciation of the settlement is more akin to Palayamkottai or Palayankottai, with the latter being more widely preferred by the locals.

பழைய கோட்டை (paḻaiya kōṭṭai) என்ற பெயர் இரண்டு தமிழ் சொற்களின் கலவையாகும்: பழைய (paḻaiya), அதாவது "பழைய" மற்றும் கோட்டை (kōṭṭai), அதாவது "கொத்த". இந்த நகரம் ஒரு பழங்கால கோட்டையாக நிறுவப்பட்டதால், அதன் பெயர் அதன் தோற்றத்தை பிரதிபலிக்கிறது. இந்த கோட்டை 17 ஆம் நூற்றாண்டில் மதுரை நாயக்கர்களால் கட்டப்பட்டது, அவர்கள் தென்னிந்தியாவின் பகுதிகளை ஆண்ட வம்சமாகும். இந்த கோட்டை தாம்பபபணனி ஆற்றின் கரையில் strategically உள்ளது, மேலும் இது பகுதியில் வர்த்தக பாதைகளைக் கட்டுப்படுத்தப் பயன்பட்டது. நாயக்கர்களின் வீழ்ச்சிக்குப் பிறகு, கோட்டை ஆங்கில கிழக்கிந்திய கம்பெனியின் கட்டுப்பாட்டிற்கு வந்தது. ஆங்கிலேயர்கள் இந்த கோட்டையை திருநெல்வேலி மாவட்டத்தின் நிர்வாக தலைமையகமாகப் பயன்படுத்தினர். கோட்டை இறுதியில் கைவிடப்பட்டது, ஆனால் பழையகோட்டை நகரம் தொடர்ந்து வளர்ந்தது. இன்று, இது திருநெல்வேலி மாவட்டத்தில் ஒரு முக்கிய வணிக மற்றும் கல்வி மையமாகும். அதன் historical significance தவிர, பழையகோட்டை என்பது "தென்னிந்தியாவின் ஆக்ஸ்போர்டு" என்றும் அழைக்கப்படுகிறது. இது பல பிரதிஷ்டைபெற்ற பள்ளிகள் மற்றும் கல்லூரிகள், உட்பட அமெரிக்க கல்லூரி, தி அகஸ்தசார் கல்லூரி, மற்றும் அரசு கலை கல்லூரி ஆகியவற்றிற்கும் தாயகமாகும். எனவே, பழையகோட்டை என்ற பெயர் நகரத்தின் இராணுவ மற்றும் நிர்வாகப் பழமையையும், அதன் தற்போதைய நிலையில் ஒரு முக்கிய கல்வி மையமாக இருப்பதையும் நினைவூட்டுகிறது. The name Palayamkottai is a portmanteau of the Tamil words palayam, which means "settlement", and kottai, which means "fort". The town was originally founded as a military fort, and the name reflects its origins. The fort was built in the 17th century by the Madurai Nayaks, a dynasty that ruled over parts of southern India. The fort was strategically located on the banks of the Tambraparni River, and it was used to control the trade routes in the region. After the fall of the Nayaks, the fort came under the control of the British East India Company. The British used the fort as the administrative headquarters for the Tirunelveli district. The fort was eventually abandoned, but the town of Palayamkottai continued to grow. Today, it is a major commercial and educational center in the Tirunelveli district. In addition to its historical significance, Palayamkottai is also known as the "Oxford of South India". This is because it is home to a number of prestigious schools and colleges, including the American College, the Thiagarajar College of Arts and Science, and the Government Arts College. So, the name Palayamkottai is a reminder of the town's military and administrative past, as well as its present-day status as a major educational center.
