The area in which the Dummala Ella Fall was earlier called Katuhena and the former name of the stream was Thattibathgoda Ela. King Walagamba is stated to have sought refuge in the nearby forests after being defeated in a battle. The king is said to have washed his eating vessel (Thatti) in this stream and on Poya days a golden Thatti is said to be seen floating on this stream.
