History
Koovappally, was largely an uninhabited region at the start of the 20th century, and covered by thick forests. The agrarian expansion of the early 1900s brought many Syrian Catholic Christian families from Kanjirapally town and the nearby regions, who colonized the areas in and around Koovappally. They set up farmlands of coconut, paddy and spices, which were later turned into rubber plantations. More people - Hindus, Muslims and Christians migrated to the area, whose livelihoods were directly and indirectly linked with agriculture. The Cathedral Church at Kanjirapally owns hundreds of acres of rubber plantation around Koovappally, including the 'Koovappally Kurissumala'.
