History
Migration of people from southern Kerala in the 1950s to 1980s, mainly from Kottayam, dramatically changed the fortunes of Karayathumchal. A vast majority of these migrants were Christians who had a completely different social and agricultural background. These hard working people brought new agricultural practices to this area. They introduced cash crops like rubber, pepper, coconut, etc.
