==History==<br />

Located on the northern border of the erstwhile Travancore kingdom, Karukutty has been influenced by the cultures of both Travancore and Cochin kingdoms and has been cited in ancient Portuguese records. Remnants of an old fort, referred to locally as ''Kottathendu'' (കോട്ടത്തെണ്ട്), can be seen here. The fort - ''Nedumkotta'' (നേടുംക്കോട്ട) was built jointly by the Travancore and Cochin kingdoms to resist invasions by Tipu Sultan. Numerous other artifacts and vessels used by natives to store their treasures and valuables have also been excavated. There is a popular saying that goes "Karukutty kandaal maru kutty venda" (കറുകുററി കണ്ടാല് മറുകുററി വേണ്ട). It roughly translates to "If you have reached Karukutty, then you need not go looking elsewhere" – a sign of the self-sufficient and prosperous nature of the locality.The name karu kutty means Dark fortress.<ref>{{cite book |last=വാലത്ത്|first=വി.വി.കെ.|authorlink=വി.വി.കെ. വാലത്ത്|title=കേരളത്തിലെ സ്ഥലനാമചരിത്രങ്ങൾ എറണാകുളം ജില്ല |year=1991|publisher=കേരള സാഹിത്യ അക്കാദമി|location= തൃശ്ശൂർ|isbn= 81-7690-105-9 }}</ref><br />
