In 1964, the Kerala Government announced the need to start more junior colleges in the state. In response, Bishop Rt. Rev. M.M. John of the CSI Madhya Kerala Diocese made the decision to establish the college, renaming it in honor of the late Edward Moore, the fourth Anglican Bishop of Travancore and Cochin of the Church Missionary Society. In 1964, the college began operations as a Junior College offering a two-year-long Pre-Degree course for the University of Kerala. The founding Principal was Rev. K C Mathew.

In 1968, the University of Kerala sanctioned the provision of undergraduate courses. The first postgraduate course started in 1982. After the de-linking of Pre-Degree courses from the university education system in 2000, the college now offers ten undergraduate and three postgraduate programs.

Post-graduate classes started in the Department of Physics in 1983. The center for Nonlinear studies started in 2000. The University of Kerala approved the Department of Physics as a research department in 2013.
