History
Muvattupuzha was part of the Vadakkumkur kingdom until it was annexed by the Kingdom of Travancore. Historical records indicate that parts of the land in the area originally belonged to the Edappally Swaroopam and were later transferred to local Brahmin families (Manas).
After Indian independence, from 1949 to 1956, Muvattupuzha was a part of the Kottayam district in Travancore-Cochin state. In 1956, when Kerala state was formed, Muvattupuzha remained as a part of Kottayam district until 1958, when Ernakulam district was formed on 1 April 1958. Muvattupuzha, as a village union, came under the control of a council of three members nominated by the Government. V. P. Govindan Nair was the first president of the village union. By 1953, Muvattupuzha was declared a panchayat.Kunnappillil Varkey Vaidyan was the first president of the elected panchayat committee. Muvattupuzha was elevated to municipality status in 1958, with N. Parameshwaran Nair serving as its first municipal chairman. It was the first municipality in which the Communist Party of India came to power through a general election.
