Mannanmoola was a remote suburb of Thiruvananthapuram city until early 1990s with lush green paddy fields and low lying muddy trenches from the thriving fire brick business with a number of brick furnaces on the sides of the Killi river.

The locality expanded since the mid-1990s, when many government servants preferred to buy properties or build houses in this area of Thiruvananthapuram due to its proximity to downtown and the good amenities available in its 2 km circle at Peroorkada and Vattiyoorkavu as well as the accessibility of hospitals and well-run private schools.
