Dolphin's Nose is a natural rock formation that has been a popular viewpoint for centuries. While there isn't a recorded historical narrative surrounding the formation itself, the area around Kodaikanal has a rich history, initially inhabited by the Palaiyar tribal people. The subsequent development of Kodaikanal as a hill station by American missionaries in the 19th century brought wider recognition to the natural beauty of places like Dolphin's Nose. Over time, it has become a significant tourist attraction, drawing visitors to witness the spectacular views and experience the thrill of standing at the edge of the cliff.
