Korutla is used to be called with names such as Koravattu, Korapattu, Koravatlu, Koratlu, Kagithalapatla. In archeological evacuations, historians found [[epigraphy]] on stones (shilashasanam), written in 1042-1068 A.D was found in the holy pond (koneru or [[Korutla Stepwell]]) of Korutla. As per the writings and opinions of people here, Korutla has got thousands of years of history and was recorded as ancient Jain hub. More than a millennium ago it was ruled by great [[Jainism|Jain]]  kings, [[Western Chalukya Empire|Kalyani Chalukyas]] (957-1184), [[Chalukyas of Vemulavada|Vemulawada Chalukyas]] (7th century to 10th century) and [[Rashtrakutas|Rastrakutas]].
 
In the era of Jain's it was called "Koravattu". As the days were passing, it changed to "Koravatlu", "Koratlu", and finally changed to present name Korutla. Another belief is that the Hindu Sages, belong to the tribe of Koravattu, used to live here and performed their devotional activities and penances in this place. The two idols of [[Tirthankara|Thirthankaras]] of [[Jainism]] were placed inside Shree Mahadevaswamy Temple dedicated to [[Shiva|Lord Shiva]] which was built by [[JAINA|Jain]] kings during their rule. An ancient [[katar]] ([[Push dagger]]) weapon was found in Shree Mahadevaswamy Temple which was used by one of the kings who ruled this place.
 
There are big and old constructions which are called as Burujulu (ancient [[Watchtower|watch towers]]). They were built for the protection of the palace which is called as Gadi (గడి) in [[Telugu language|Telugu]], which is located in the middle of six burujulu (watch towers). The palace was recently destroyed. Out of these six burujulu, one was destroyed but remaining five which can be seen. A big wall used to be there connecting all burjulu, It was wide enough that a car could go on it.
 
Along the wall, there used to be a canal with full of water for additional protection measures. For this reason that area is still called as "Kalvagadda or Kaluva Gadda". In the premises of the palace there is a Holy Pond (koneru or [[Korutla Stepwell]]), which is constructed with rock, under the ground, surrounding the holy pond and it was a construction with pillars and a dressing room.
