The famine after World War II and the misrule of Sir. C. P. Ramaswamy Iyer incited a large scale migration of people from Travancore (South Kerala) to this area. The migration continued well into the 1970s and 1980s. A vast majority of these migrants were Christians who had a completely different social and agricultural background. These hard working people brought new agricultural practices to this area. They introduced cash crops like rubber and daily staples like tapioca to the region. The migrants also brought a new attitude to the region, one that challenged the established Janmi-Kudian feudal system. The migrants bought large tracts of land outright from the Janmis and put down permanent crops heralding an era of prosperity for the area. The immigrants, despite their cultural and social difference, soon became an integral part of social fabric. Early farming methods 

Until the early 1950s, this region used outdated agricultural practices and depended on the Indian monsoons for its irrigation needs. Agricultural land lay fallow after harvest. At the beginning of the next growing season, the bushes that cover the land would be cleared and the plant material burned to prepare the land for the next cycle of rice cultivation. This method, known as 'punam krishi' allowed people to grow staples like rice and black gram. How to reach Thabore

St. Joseph's Church was established in 1974 by the Christians (the Syro-Malabar Church) who migrated from Travancore. The church in its present form was built in the nineties. This church comes under Cherupuzha forane, Syro-Malabar Catholic Archeparchy of Tellicherry. The Archdiocese of Tellicherry is an ecclesiastical province of the Syro-Malabar Church in Kerala, India. The Diocese of Tellicherry was erected on 31 December 1953 by the papal bull Ad Christi Ecclesiam regendam of Pope Pius XII, against the backdrop of large-scale migration of thousands of Syro-Malabar Catholics from South to the Northern forestlands of Kerala. The boundaries of the diocese were extended in 1955 to some districts in the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, for the pastoral care of the migrants settled there. The diocese grew fast and became a stronghold of the Catholic Church in this region within a short period. The diocese was bifurcated in 1973, and the diocese of Mananthavady was erected. Again, the Diocese of Tellicherry was bifurcated twice, in 1986 to form the diocese of Thamarassery and in 1999 to form the diocese of Belthangady. The diocese was raised to the stature of metropolitan archdiocese by the papal bull Spirituali bono Christi fidelium of Pope John Paul II in 1995. Bishop Mar Sebastian Valloppilly was the first bishop of the Diocese of Tellicherry. The achdiocese enjoyed the gracious leadership of Archbishop Mar George Valiamattam from 1 May 1989 to 30 October 2014. On 30 October 2014 he resigned and Archbishop Mar George Njaralakatt was installed as the new Archbishop of Tellicherry. He assumed office on the same day. Chathamangalam Hills
