[2] A copper-plate inscription was issued by King Viramarmadeva of the Kadamba dynasty in 1049 CE concerning a grant of a piece of land called "Tudukapura" in "Kudtarika agrahara" of "Chhat sathi desha".

"Chhat sathi" refers to modern Salcete, known as Sashti in the local Konkani language.

It was built in 1597 midst a scenic natural backdrop of a lake Angoddi Tollem across the woods on the site of an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to the deity Ravalnath (a form of Lord Shiva).

The first MLA of Curtorim (Goa Assembly constituency) was Mr Enio Pimenta who also was a prominent freedom fighter.

Distinguished people from this village include Gen. Sunith Francis Rodrigues, who was the ex-chief of the Indian Army Staff and Governor of Punjab from 2004 to 2010 and former South Goa MP Francisco Sardinha.
