The town is the headquarters of Naduvil Grama panchayat. <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20081208044522/http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Census_Data_2001/Village_Directory/Population_data/Population_5000_and_Above.aspx</ref>

Paithalmala is a hill station and tourist attraction near Kudiyanmala and Naduvil. Paithalmala is located at the border of Kerala and Karnataka. The [[Kodagu district|Kodagu]] district of [[Karnataka]] is at the eastern side of [[Paithalmala]].

It was one of the major centers of Syrian Christian migration (Malabar migration). Migration of mainly [[Saint Thomas Christians|Syrian Christian]] families to Kudiyanmala started in the 1950s and continued until the 1970s.<ref>Logan's Malabar Manual</ref>

==Etymology==
The name Kudiyanmala has a history behind it. The ruler of the Chirakkal Principality had a sister, who was accused of adultery. Accompanied by servants she was sent to Kudiattivalappu. Kudiattivalappu is located in Kudiyanmala, which is near Pottamplavu. Every 12 years Vyazhavattam, the ruler sent soldiers to kill the sons of the princess if any were born during this period. From this legend, the name Kudiyanmala was derived.

Malabar Migration which initially started in the 1920s and reached a peak in the 1950s began changing the demography from the 1950s. [[World War II]] created poverty in [[Travancore]], which caused migration. Central Travancore, especially Kottayam district, was the focus of migration. In 1953, the Holy Mass was said for the first time in the history of this place.
