Economy of the location
Nagercoil, city, extreme southern Tamil Nadu state, southern India. It lies west of the Aramboli Gap in the Western Ghats mountain range.
Nagercoil has long controlled the major routes between Chennai (Madras; northeast) and Thiruvananthapuram (northwest) in Kerala state. Its name, meaning “snake temple,” indicates the early significance of the town’s temple dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva. Although historically a part of the Hindu kingdom of Travancore, Nagercoil developed as an important Christian centre.
Nagercoil is a commercial centre for a rich agricultural area. Among its expanding industries are cotton and rice milling, motor repairing, and the manufacture of rubber goods. The city has several colleges affiliated with Manonmaniam Sundaranar University in Tirunelveli.
