In the 20th century, Nungumbaukum housed many European civil servants and city administrators.
Nungumbaukum is regarded as a commercial hub of Chennai. Several commercial enterprises, banks, markets and hotels have chosen this place as their base of operation. Nungambakkamn is also known for its cultural roots. The famous Lalit Kala Academy is a prominent institution popularizing the art and culture of the country. |
