The land of Kallooppara was previously known by the name of Perumbranadu, due to its massive storage of rocks and hence being known by the name of 'Perum Parra Nadu', in the previous days and gradually being known as Perumbranad, in the latter days as legend has it.

Kallooppara was once the part of Thiruvalla taluk and with the formation of the Pathanamthitta district in 1983, a new taluk was created, Mallapally taluk and Kallooppara became a part of it. It was once governed by the Royalties of the Thekkumkoor Dynasty and Edappally Thampurans (rulers).According to local tradition of Saint Thomas Christians , the four prominent Namboothiri families who accepted the new faith from St. Thomas, Disciple (Apostle) of Christ between AD 52 and AD 72 among them were Kali, Kalikavu, Pakalomattom & Sankarapuri.[1][2] Because of their new faith, these families and their children were subjected to much hardship by others at that time and consequently they had to move towards South of Kerala by the end of the 2nd century. Though the Christians devotees of Kallooppara claim their roots to the first century, history dates their arrival and settlement at Kallooppara only from the 9th century onwards. Most of them migrated from Christian centers like Kuravilangad, Vaikom, Kadambanad etc., and have apical ancestors based on the lineage and known under family names such as Valiyaveedu, Melepeedika, Kallarakkal, Aalummud, Adangapurathu, Kurunthayil, Thazhepeedika, Pallikkal, Chamathil, Pandakasalayil, Peralummootil, Vattasseril, Kochumannil, Karimbil, Moothedathu, Mundupalathingal and Maret.
