History

In earlier times, this land was a part of Elayadathu Swarupam, a principality ruled by a branch of the Travancore royal family. Kottarakkara was the capital of Elayadathu Swarupam.

Etymology Up to 18th century, this land was a part of "Ilayidathu Swaroopam". At that time, most of the leaders (Malayalam: Thalavanmaar) in the Ilayidathu Swaroopam were from this place. They headed various departments of this royal dynasty. Hence this place came to be known as "Thalavoor", meaning "Thalavanmaarude Ooru" i.e. "The Place of Leaders".
