==Etymology==
It is believed that the early [[Jain]] residents who migrated from [[Karnataka]] have named the place "Kalpetta". In [[Kannada]], the words "Kal" and "Pettah" means "deposits of stones". Rocks -large and small- are found throughout the landscape of Kalpetta. Hence this name was derived.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

Kalpetta was under the rule of [[Western Ganga dynasty]] until AD930. Through ages this region fell into the rule of [[Hoysala Empire]], [[Vijayanagara Empire]], and [[Kingdom of Mysore]]. [[Pazhassi Raja]] was the next to rule the region. Kalpetta Nair administered the place as the representative for Pazhassi Raja. [[Mysorean invasion of Kerala]] made Kalpetta a part of [[Tipu Sultan]]'s empire. This continued until the demise of Tipu Sultan. Along with the rest of [[Malabar region|Malabar]], Kalpetta also came under British rule after Tipu Sultan's demise.{{citation needed|date=March 2020}}
