After the Polygar Wars, the British took over this region. Subsequently, Uthamapalayam became part of Madurai District under the Madras Presidency. In the late 19th century, the commencement of the Mullaiperiyar Dam project (1886) brought significant agricultural development to Uthamapalayam and the Cumbum Valley.
Today, Uthamapalayam stands proud with its historical legacy, advancing in education, agriculture, and cultural growth. Mullaiperiyar river is one of the attraction for this town.
