Munroe Thuruthu - History details

Formed through reclamation under Col. John Munro around 1800–1810, Munroe Island sits where Ashtamudi Lake meets the Kallada River. Home to the 1878 Dutch Church and coir-making communities, it faces land subsidence and tidal flooding, earning the title ‘Kerala’s sinking island.’ Canoe routes reveal mangroves and village life.
