'''Krishnapura''' ([[Tulu language|Tulu]], [[Kannada]]: ಕೃಷ್ಣಾಪುರ ) is a village located 3 kilometres near [[Surathkal]] and comes under the authority of the [[Mangalore City Corporation]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]].

==History==
The original inhabitants of this area settled mostly around Krishnapur Matha. Before the 1970s, much of the area was covered with evergreen forests consisting mostly of [[ebony]] trees. The government took over land mostly belonging to Krishnapur Matha and handed it over for rehabitation of evacuee's affected by project of new sea port at [[Panambur]]. Many residents of this place were relocated from Panambur, when the [[New Mangalore Port]] Trust was established.{{cn|date=May 2014}} In 1969 the families situated at [[Baikampady]] were rehabilitated at Krishnapur and were given house sites at the price of 12.5 cents each.
