==History==

Surandai Palayam was formed during the reign of Madurai Nayagam Khansagi. It was changed to jameen during the British rule. Surandai was formed by amalgamation of villages of Lower Surandai, Bangla Surandai and Surandai. This town, which used to be a village, was upgraded to a Town Panchayat in the 1980s. Surandai was upgraded to a municipality on 24 August 2021 after the creation of Tenkasi district in India.
