History
Previously, the land served as the epicenter of people migrating from Travancore to the north districts of Kerala. The modern history of Chemperi starts in the 1930s with the arrival of migrants from the Kottayam district of Kerala. These migrants made Chemperi a big town with almost all the facilities needed to serve its population. More recently,the town has become a local business hub.
Eruvessy, which is very near to Chemperi, has a different historical background. It is believed that the inhabitants there descend from 18th century settlers of the Eruvessy region. The culture and belief system of the people of Eruvessy is entirely different from that of the people of Chemperi, though the neighboring communities live harmoniously.

“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
