Origin of Name

File:Vazhappally Temple.jpg

During the Thekkumkoor Dynasty, the huge wall that was built for the protection of the Vazhappally Maha Siva Temple extended to Mathumoola. The Changanassery War, which took place in September 1750, after the extinction of the Vazhappally Pathillathil Pottimar (Brahmins from ten Houses), Thekkumkoor lost its dominance and caused considerable damage to the Vazhappally Temple wall.Shungoonny Menon - A HISTORY OF TRAVANCORE - First edition: 1878, New edition: 1983, Page 130, 131 - {{ISBN|8170200407|978-8170200406}}{{Cite web|url=http://archive.org/stream/ahistorytravanc00menogoog#page/n202/mode/2up|title = A History of Travancore from the Earliest Times|year = 1878|publisher = Higginbotham}}{{verification failed|date=June 2020|reason=Specifically with the 1878 edition on archive.org, I can't find any results for most of these names}} The place was later known as "Mathil Moola" (Wall Corner) and later, the Mathumoola.
