[2] The name Kozhencherry is believed to have originated from the Malayalam word “Kovilancheri,” which refers to a settlement near a temple in the banks of river.

It lies along the banks of the sacred Pampa River, which originates from Sabarimala, and is surrounded by hills and lush green valleys.

The land of Kozhencherry is highly fertile, supporting the cultivation of plantations, paddy, tapioca, coconut, rubber, pepper, sugarcane, vegetables, spices, and more.

In the past, goods from the Kozhencherry market were transported to Kochi and Alappuzha via the Pampa River in large boats.

This call to action spurred public involvement in the Freedom Struggle alongside Mahatma Gandhi.

District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) office is in Kozhencherry village near Panchayath stadium.

Auto rickshaws are also commonly used and are typically hired for short distances (1–3 km) in areas not serviced by buses.
