Few thing about Colachel:
Colachel is a Historical place. Before the state reorganisation in 1956 it was part of the erstwhile Travancore State. Wasco-da-Gama called it ‘COLACHI’.
Bartolameo speaks of the place ‘COLACHEY’ well known to the ancients. It was a Dutch Colony, which came under Travancore after the defeat of the Dutch by king Marthanda Varma in 1751 for which a victory pillar was commemorated near the beach. The importance of Colachel is due to the existence of a port on the west coast of Tamil Nadu in the Arabian sea - from historical times which is remarkable for the natural Harbour facilities it possesses.
