In the 18th century, the region experienced the impact of Marathas and the Mysore kingdom. Particularly, when Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan captured the Dindigul Fort, areas near Uthamapalayam came under their influence. However, Uthamapalayam was not directly annexed by Mysore; it remained under the control of the Poligars(Palaiyakkara Rauthers)..
