History
This place was originally a part of the Nedunganad Swaroopam dynasty, which ruled over the present-day Pattambi and Ottapalam Taluks. By the end of the 15th century CE, Nedunganad came under the Zamorin of Calicut. The Chieftains of Shoranur known as the Kavalappara Moopil Nair maintained his territory as a buffer zone between the Zamorin and the Rajas of kochi often taking sides keeping in mind his personal interests of the time . With the annexation of Malabar by the British Kavalappara became part of Walluvanad Taluk of Malabar District, with the Taluk headquarters at Perinthalmanna.
