Turf and sand banks were created with the rise in sea-level which formed the shape of the coastal area as we see it today.

The origin of the name Kochi is thought to be the Malayalam word kochu azhi, meaning 'small lagoon'.

Maad or cow was the stamp of Old Royal Fort of Rajah of Kochi, who built his palace after the fall of Kodungallur port due to a gigantic tsunami in 1341 AD.

[citation needed] The Perumpadappu Swaroopam or the Fort of Rajah had its palace on the banks of the Calvathy River.

Owing to frequent wars between King Zamorin of Kozhikode and the western colonial forces, the Rajah left the place for Tripunithura.

Owing to the high volume of tourists visiting the place dedicated low floor Volvo buses were introduced to this route by the government.

Such buses are in use on the popular routes such as Cochin International Airport (CIAL), Vytila Mobility Hub and Kakanad Info Park.

The Portuguese arrived at Kappad Kozhikode in 1498 during the Age of Discovery, thus opening a direct sea route from Europe to India.

The Rajah also gave them permission to build Fort Emmanuel near the waterfront to protect their commercial interests.

Since the beginning of the Common Era, Arabian and Chinese traders sourced spices, especially pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, sandal wood, etc.

Written documents about the Malabar Coast show that this region had Hindus, Christians, and a Jewish minority.

This was the time when the first Portuguese ships berthed at the Malabar Coast: Vasco da Gama in Kozhikode and Pedro Álvares Cabral in Kochi.

[citation needed] The Portuguese put pressure upon the small Jewish community, and even the Syrian Christians as they were practising Nestorianism.
