History

In A gazetteer of the Central Province of Ceylon of 1898, Uda Makuruppe and Palle Makuruppe are listed as villages in the Kohoke korale of Upper Hewaheta. The combined population of the two villages is given as 228 in 1871, 254 in 1881 and 216 in 1891. Two wewas or tanks in Uda Makuruppe were no longer in use and the rice paddies were watered by small elas or streams. A vihara lay in ruins, but a kovila is described as "in good order". [2]

The Uda part of the name means upper; Palle means lower. [3]
