Not much is known about the ancient history of Kandalloor. Like any other mangrove forest region, the land was obviously marshy and was covered with thick mangrove plantations and plenty of inland water bodies with isolated landmasses. The fast disappearing 'kavu' (small bushy thick forest) and ponds and other water bodies are the remnants of this ancient geography of the region. Kandalloor village became part of 'Kayamkulam kingdom' which was later annexed to 'Travancore kingdom' during the reign of king 'Marthanda Varma'.
