History
[edit]Ramanattukara, on the southern bank of Chaliyar river, was adjacent to the medieval kingdom of Parappanad.[4] The Parappanad royal family is a cousin dynasty of the Travancore royal family. The rulers of Parappanad were vassals to the Zamorin of Calicut.[5] The headquarters of the Parappanad royal family was the coastal town of Parappanangadi in present-day Malappuram district.[6] In 15th century CE, Parappanad Swaroopam was divided into two - Northern Parappanad (Beypore Swaroopam) and Southern Parappanad (Parappur Swaroopam).[5] Beypore, Cheruvannur, and Panniyankara, on northern bank of Chaliyar, became Northern Parappanad.[4] Kadalundi, Vallikkunnu, and Parappanangadi, on the southern bank of Chaliyar became Southern Parappanad.[4]
The ruler of the Kingdom of Tanur (Vettathunadu Swaroopam) was known to have assisted the Portuguese build a fort on the island of Chaliyam, which was a part of Southern Parappanad, and was destructed during the Battle at Chaliyam fort occurred in 1571.[5] Feroke became a part of the Kingdom of Mysore in late 18th century CE.[5] Following the Third Anglo-Mysore War and the subsequent Treaty of Seringapatam, Ramanattukara became a part of Malabar District under British Raj.[5] Ramanattukara was included in Eranad Taluk in the Malappuram Revenue Division of Malabar District with its Taluk headquarters at Manjeri.[7][4][8] Following the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, Ramanattukara became a part of Tirurangadi Revenue block of Tirur Taluk.[6][9] On 16 June 1969, Eranad Taluk, Tirur Taluk, Tirurangadi, and Parappanangadi, were transferred to newly formed Malappuram district.[9] However, three Revenue Villages of Tirur Taluk, namely, Feroke, Ramanattukara, and Kadalundi, remained in Kozhikode district, as they were much closer to Kozhikode city centre.[9] However Kadalundi Nagaram beach (where Kadalundi River flows into Arabian Sea, a part of Vallikkunnu Grama Panchayat), Tenhipalam, the centre of University of Calicut and Karippur, the site of Calicut International Airport, became parts of Malappuram.[9] Feroke, Ramanattukara, and Kadalundi are parts of Kozhikode Taluk and Kozhikode metropolitan area.[10][11]
