Etymology
editThe word "Mamala" derived from the word for the foothills of the western ghats.[citation needed]
History
editMamala was a border check post between Kochi and Thiruvithamkoor (tranvcore) state before 1950. The British Raj called it Mamalay; this usage can be seen at the old building of excise office at Mamala and there is a stone representing the border with letter "KO" (Malayalam) in west side and "THI" on east side of that stone placed at bottom of the small bridge. Chottanikkara temple is around 5 km away and also, Mamala is situated on the Munnar-Madurai highway.
