History of Grama Panchayat
History This region was once a habitat of wild animals. Around A.D. 1000, the Perumakkans ruled the Edathumkunnu area near Kodumpidi in the southeastern part of the region with administrative authority. During this period, a few Nair families and Hindu families belonging to other communities settled here. In addition, some Christian families from Nilackal and North Paravur are also said to have migrated and established settlements in the area.

Since the Pandyas conducted trade centered around Kadanad, the region became known even in distant places.
