"Ayyanthole Ground" is the central point of the ward because it houses a football ground in its vicinity. The area is also called ''Karshaka Nagar,'' as homage to its rich agricultural history.

However, the rice farms have since become residential colonies. The residents are predominantly government servants. Ayyanthole has recently become one of the most popular residential areas in Thrissur, especially after the announcement of an international residential enclave nearby causing an expansion of housing development. Ayyanthole also houses the second indoor stadium of Thrissur, under the patronage of the District Officers club.

Before the formation of Thrissur Corporation, Ayyanthole was a [[Panchayat]] in Puzhakkal Block. It was merged with Thrissur Municipality to form Thrissur Corporation in 2000.
