To the South West lies Tatanagar, also known as the I.I.Sc Layout, a planned residential area developed by current and former employees of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc).

The locality holds a significant place in the narrative of the city, tracing its roots back to prehistoric and medieval eras.

Archaeological discoveries in nearby areas such as Jalahalli, Siddapur, and Gavipura have revealed Stone Age tools dating from 2000 to 1000 BCE.

In the Iron Age (circa 1000 BCE), burial grounds were established in nearby localities, such as Koramangala and Chikkajala, further indicating the area's long-standing significance.

Additionally, the discovery of Roman coins from the reigns of emperors Augustus, Tiberius, and Claudius in places like Yeshwantpur and HAL points to early trade and cultural exchanges with distant civilizations.

Kodigehalli holds a significant place in the historical and folkloric origins of "Bengaluru", often referred to as the "City of Boiled Beans."

Kodigehalli is closely linked to the ancient settlement of Halé Bengaluru (Old Bangalore).,[1] which was mentioned in inscriptions from the Ganga dynasty (circa 9th century CE).

The hero stones are a testament to the area's rich heritage, reflecting both valor and scientific awareness of early civilizations.

The historical prominence of Kodigehalli grew during the 16th century when Kempe Gowda I established Bengaluru as a fortified town in 1537 CE.

The term Kodige translates to "gift" in Kannada, commemorating the land granted by King Veera Ballala of the Hoysala dynasty to two loyal brothers, Byregowda and Bacchegowda.

Kodigehalli will soon benefit from planned metro lines along Hebbal and Airport Road, as well as the suburban rail network under the KRIDE project.
