Ernakulam district was formed out of the erstwhile kingdoms of Travancore, Kochi and Malabar. The Kochi kingdom had a major share in the establishment of the district. The word Ernakulam was drawn from a Tamil word 'Erayanarkulam' which means abode of Lord Shiva's.
Ernakulam has the majority of islands in Kerala. The main islands of this district are Willington Island, the world's most populated Vypeen Island, Cheriya Kadamakkudi, Valiya Kadamakkudi, Ramanthuruthu, Ponjikkara, Vallarpadam, Kumbalam, Panangad, Cheppanam, Nettoor, Pizhala, Kankattuthuruthu, Korampadam, Cheranelloor, Chathanadu and Chendamangalam. It is believed that the formation of all these islands took place from the soil accumulated due to soil erosion of highlands.
One can see the impressions of Arabs, Chinese, Dutch, British and Portuguese seafarers, who followed the sea route to Kochi. The present Ernakulam District include Paravur, Aluva, Kochi, Kanayannoor, Muvattupuzha, Kunnathunadu, Kothamangalam Taluks which come under Fort Kochi and Muvattupuzha Revenue Sub Division.
