Traditionally, Kavumbhagom referred to the area around the Karunattu Kaavu temple, and was the junction where the Thiruvalla-Mavelikkara Road met the Kottayam-Mavelikkara Road. Once a new road was constructed from the Ambili Junction during the early 1980s, the former Kavumbhagom Junction came to be called Anchal Kutty, while the place formerly known as Erankavu became known as Kavumbhagom,.
