Palayamkottai used to be an independent municipality. Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai for this reason are even today considered as twin cities. In 1994, Tirunelveli along with Tiruchirappalli and Salem was upgraded to a municipal corporation. Tirunelveli City Municipal Corporation was formed by merging the municipalities of Tirunelveli and Palayamkottai along with surrounding areas. Structure
