Mentioned in Greek literature from the first century, Kollam has been a
thriving trading port for centuries. The surrounding region produces
pepper (after which the city is named), cashews, coir and other
agricultural products. Local communities include Christian, Muslim and
Hindu peoples. A historical Chinese population is known to exist, and
the town's market is still named after them. Fishing occurs right along
the coast as in other parts of Kerala. West and slightly north of the
town some 5 kilometres lies a beach, on the north end of which are
various European colonial-era relics, including the ruins of a fort and a
few churches. There are also some old colonial buildings scattered
about the town proper.
