Kotagiri is a hill station and a municipality in the Nilgiris district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The Nilgiri Hills have been the traditional home of the "Kota" tribes. The name "Kota-giri" itself means 'mountains of the Kotas'. Kotagiri was known in the past as 'Kota-keri' or 'Kota-gherry', the 'street of Kotas'. The town has developed around numerous knolls and valleys. Located at an average elevation of 1,950 m (6,400 ft), it was one of the summer resorts of the Madras Presidency. The British administrator John Sullivan visited the area in 1819, arriving at a village called Dhimbatty to the north of Kotagiri.
