History

Ponnani Taluk of the erstwhile Malabar District

Ponnani was the most populous Taluk of the erstwhile Malabar District during its dissolution. At that time Ponnani Taluk had 8 Revenue blocks in it: Tanur, Tirur, Kuttippuram, Ponnani, Thrithala, Andathode, Chavakkad, and Nattika. On 1st November 1957, the Revenue blocks of Tanur, Tirur, and Kuttippuram were separated from Ponnani Taluk to form Tirur Taluk, and the Revenue blocks of Chavakkad and Nattika were separated to form Chavakkad Taluk.

During the formation of Malappuram district on 16th June 1969, Thrithala Revenue block was transferred from Ponnani Taluk to Ottapalam Taluk, and three villages of Andathode Block namely, Punnayur, Punnayurkulam, and Vadakkekad, were transferred to the Chavakkad Taluk.

Now, Ponnani is the smallest and least populous Taluk of Malappuram district. The current Ponnani Taluk contains only 11 villages.
