Keppetipola (කැප්පෙටිපොල) is a town in Sri Lanka. It is located in Badulla District of Uva Province, Sri Lanka.^[1] During the British period this village had been called as Wilson-Tenna. In 1818 the British General named Wilson destroyed and abandoned this arid. Then this was called Palugama.^[2] And later somewhere in 1968 this had been named as Keppetipola. This had been done in honour and to commemorate the action of Monarawila keppetipola's ( then Disawa of Uva under the British ) return of the British troops and Armour and joining and taking the leadership of the 1818 rebellion against the British.
