Edappally

Edappally or Idappalli is an urban quarter of the city of Kochi, Kerala (disctrict Ernakulam), India. It is a major commercial centre as well as a prominent residential region. Edappally junction is one of the busiest junctions in the city. Edappally also known as "The Town of St. George".

==History== The name “Edappally” is believed to have originated from the famous pilgrimage center of St. George, which was established between the ancient churches of Udayamperoor and Angamaly. The renowned St. George Forane Church, Edappally, dedicated to Saint George the Martyr, was founded midway between the historic Udayamperoor Church and Angamaly Church. Because this church was established “in between” (idappil in Malayalam), the place later came to be known as Edappally.
