Kothamangalam occupies a prominent place in the ancient history of Kerala. According to some historians like Professor Joseph Mundasseri, 'Kotha' in the name must have been the official name of the Cheras who ruled Kerala in the first millennium. There is also an opinion that Thrikkariyoor, a village that lies 3 km north of the Kothamangalam town was the capital of Cheras, but it is not widely accepted.
Kothamangalam taluk was created on January 26, 1972 including parts of the Muvattupuzha municipality. It was composed of Kothamangalam, Keerampara, Kottapady, Pindimana, Nellikuzhi, Pothanikad, Varappetty, Kadavoor and Pallarimanagalam villages. Later Neriamangalam and Thrikkariyoor were added to the taluk in 1981. Kothamangalam became a municipality in 1978.
The homes in Kothamangalam are old fashioned; most of them are over 100 years old.
