Ernakulam district, Administrative district in Kerala, India
Ernakulam district extends across 3,068 square kilometers in southwestern India, encompassing coastal areas, backwaters, and urban developments between Thrissur and Kottayam districts.
The district, established in 1958, gained importance through centuries of maritime trade connections with Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, and British merchants through its ports.
Traditional Chinese fishing nets along the coastline represent the heritage of local fishing communities, while numerous temples and churches reflect religious diversity.
The Cochin International Airport connects the district globally, while the Kochi Metro system provides efficient transportation across major commercial and residential areas.
The district achieved complete banking coverage for its population in 2012, marking it as the first district in India to reach this financial milestone.
