Heritage
History of Angamaly
A fuller look at how this place grew - from early roots to the town travellers visit today.
Originally established as a panchayat in May 1952, Angamaly became a municipality in April 1978 and has been a Ernakulam Assembly constituency since 1965. The area is known for the 1959 Angamaly police firing in which police fired upon protesters who had been demonstrating against Kerala's communist government.
The Angamaly police firing took place on 13 June 1959, when police opened fire on protesters who had been demonstrating against Kerala's communist government. Seven people were killed, resulting in the intensification of Vimochana Samaram, a protest against the then-communist government.
