==History==
Long ago there was an ancient town named Gowripatnam padu. It was a big town in Rajamahendravaram kingdom. It often suffered from natural disasters like earthquakes and droughts. The people made a number of big ponds to store water. At the last stage of township the people had nothing to eat. They tried to eat even soil to control their hunger. They felt that it was very hard to stay there, and decided to shift from the town. The people went in different directions and made small villages as per their requirements and comfort. Many people who had great affection for the town settled very nearby and made a village. They felt this new village was a son of the old town. As per Hindu stories, Kumaraswamy is the only natural born son of Gowri devi. Therefore, they put the village name as "Kumarapalem". With time passing and different pronunciations the name gradually changed to Komaripalem.

Everywhere one can find a village goddess in or near the village. However, Komaripalem people still give priority to the Gowripatnampadu town goddess Gogulamma, located 5 km from the village. They also offer pujas to the village goddess Dosalamma. One can still find three very small ponds near Gogulamma temple named Enugula Cheruvu, Kanikela Cheruvu, etc. One can also find some big rocks which were used as temple bricks.
