Perambur is situated about 7 km from Chennai Central and was a station on the Madras Railway, which later became the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway

Perambur is the centre of a crescent of the Anglo-Indian community comprising Vepery, Purasawalkam, Ayanavaram, Perambur and Madhavaram.

The rise of Perambur as a premier Anglo-Indian centre was mainly due to the location there of the Carriage Works and Loco Works and the huge Perambur Railway Colony popularly known as the Pananthope Railway Colony.
