Ulipuram is a village in Gangavalli taluk, Salem district, Tamil Nadu state in India,.[1]
Geological research and evidence confirms the history and existence of this habitat since the 16th century and it was known as Puliyarampur.[2] The place was named during the time of "Nayakkar". Two 16th Century hero stones and two slabs containing Tamil inscriptions with details of donations to a nearby temple to run a religious retreat by using the revenue from paddy fields have been discovered in Ulipuram.
Now, the village is more secular, consisting of various castes mainly Nayakkar, Vanniyar, Kurumbar, Kavundar and Reddiyar. The village is historically known for agriculture, sheep, goat and cow breeding. Ulipuram is a predominantly agricultural community with major crops including rice, nuts, sugarcane, and corn.
Residences are centralized around the surrounding farms of the area, sub-dividing Ulipuram into groups and localities including:
