The history of the Society dates back from 1945 when Travancore was a Princely State. It was on the basis of a Government Order dated 5th November 1945 issued from the Secretariat, then known as “Huzur Catcherry”, that the Society was constituted. When the State of Kerala was formed in 1956, the Society was renamed as the “Kerala Agri-horticultural Society”, the office and nursery were shifted to the Kanakakunnu Palace from the public garden.
