The area was rich in forest cover and had a roaming elephant population and other tropical wild animals. The name of the place "Pathanapuram"(malayalam language) can be translated as "ten elephants puram" ( malayalam path=10 +ana=elephant +puram = town). A large part of the rain forests were cut down to create rubber plantations, but there still exists a considerable area of very dense tropical rainforest (achan kovil+thenmala etc.).

The after effect of the aforestation can be felt now. The local rivers have all been filled with sand due to top soil erosion; the ground water level has gone down considerably affecting the availability of drinking water for the local population in the summer period and there also appears to be a change in the temperature level.
