About the name Thalassery Thalassery was the northernmost place in Kolathunadu. Due to this fact, the place was called "Thalakkathe" (for Northernmost or Topmost to be precise - in Malayalam language) "Cheri" (for Place) which later was abbreviated to Thalassery. Tellicherry is the anglised form of the name Thalassery. British influence The British established their presence in Kerala in 1682, when they obtained permission from the Vadakkilamkur Prince of Kolattunad, to settle at Thalassery. In the following years, the British presence in the state of Kerala strengthened. During this period, there were many organised revolts held by the natives of the region against the empire. Among them was the revolt of 1704, that the natives of Thalassery organised, but this revolt was quickly crushed by the British forces due to its localised non-nationalistic nature. Due to its coastal location, the town of Thalassery was a major commercial centre during the British rule of India. During the British rule, the Malayalam name Thalassery was anglicised into Tellicherry. The British built a seaport in Tellicherry through which a variety of spices such as pepper and cardamom where exported. The world famous Tellicherry Peppers are named after this quaint little town. In 1708, the British built a fort by the sea to protect and control the spice trade from the town. In 1781, this fort was attacked unsuccessfully by the Indian ruler and military commander Hyder Ali of Mysore. The British also established the district judicial court in Tellicherry. During the British rule, jurisdiction of Tellicherry Court extended up to Mysore. Thalassery Fort In 1708 AD, when the British East India Company established its settlement on the Malabar Coast, they built the Thalassery Fort, as a testimonial to their colonial imperialism. The square fort, with its massive walls, secret tunnels to the sea and intricately carved huge doors, is an imposing structure. The fort was once the nucleus of Thalassery's development. It is now a historical monument. Of Cricket, Cakes and Circus Thalassery is at times referred to as the city of cricket, cakes and circus. Cricket was played in Thalassery much before it was introduced in Calcutta in 1860. The Thalassery Municipal Cricket Ground hosts the Ranji Trophy cricket matches every year. On this ground, the first ball was bowled in the early 1800s, thanks to Colonel Arthur Wellesley, who brought the game to this Malabar town. In the year 2002, Thalassery cricket ground celebrated its 200th birthday by hosting an one-day international cricket match between India and Sri Lanka. Thalassery is considered to be the birth place of Indian circus. Keeleri Kunhikannan is a legend in the history of circus. The circus artist and coaches from Thalassery are very much in demand. There is also a proposal to start a circus school, which will give employment opportunity for many persons. This can serve as recruitment ground for circus companies. The scope for earning foreign exchange is also tremendous, as the circuses are very popular in other countries. The cultural exchange programme with Russian artistes by Jumbo Circus gave them a overwhelming response and helped them to be a undisputed market leader in the circus industry. Mambally Bakery, the first bakery in the state of Kerala was founded in Thalassery. Literary and Social Contributions Rajya Samacharam the first Malayalam newspaper was published from Thalassery.

Our Foundress, Blessed Brigida Morello of Jesus founded the Institute of the Ursulines of Mary Immaculate on 17th February 1649 in Piancenza, Italy. Her desire to be a missionary became a reality when the Congregation struck roots in the Indian soil in 1934. The Pioneers, inspired by her vision began their work in earnest by reaching out to the less fortunate and alleviating their suffering. One very effective way was educating young girls and providing them with values of life and enabling them to face challenges and be successful in life. Ursuline Senior Secondary School had a very modest beginning as a Montessori House of Children in 1959. Mother Stephania Murelli, the then Superior of the Indian Mission was the backbone of this institution. The school began with just one pupil on the roll and a dedicated teacher, Sr.Alberta. There was no turning back hence, rather overcoming difficulties with courage, determination and hard work helped the school to make giant strides of progress.This school has the rare distinction of being the first institution in Kannur to be affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) The school has just celebrated its Golden Jubilee year during 2009-10.
