As per the known history, Kooroppada was the place where Thekkumkur Kings with their headquarters at Vennimala accommodated their royal army. In Malayalam, the word ‘koor’ means loyalty and 'pada' means army. So the land of loyal army has become Kooroppada. In AD 1749 King Marthanda Varma captured Thekkumkur and annexed it to Venad. Previous land lords namely Ambazhathunkal Karthas were removed from their posts and a large portion of the land then came under the tenancy of Kolathettu family who were migrated to Kooroppada from Kolathunadu due to Islamic conquest.
