== Overview ==
Many residents of this place were rehabilitated from [[Panambur]], after the New [[Mangalore]] [[Port]] Trust ( [[NMPT]] ).
"Katipalla" in local [[Tulu language|Tulu]] language literally means wild stream. 'Kati' means wild, 'palla' means stream. A stream originates from this place and flows downtoward towards the Krishnapura Matha and further down joining other streams. Before rehabilitation during the 1970s, the area was covered with forest infested with wild animals like tiger, hyna, fox etc. Perhaps name of this place may have derived because the wild animals used this water stream to quench their thirst. Here the population is mixed with three main religions Hindu, Muslim, & Christians.

Furthermore, Krishnapura Matha is one of [[Ashta Mathas of Udupi]] founded by [[Dvaita]] philosopher Sri [[Madhvacharya]]. Some of the area (blocks) of Katipalla are even today known as [[Krishnapura, Karnataka|Krishnapura]], especially those near to [[Krishnapura matha]]. The Krishnapura Matha has a [[Mukhyaprana]] (Maruti or Hanuman) temple inside. The structure of the Matha is supported by wood pillars. The Matha has exquisite wooden carving. The Mangalore petroleum refinery ([[MRPL]]) and [[BASF]] plant are also nearby.
