History[]

Eranad Taluk in the erstwhile Malabar District

Eranad was the largest Taluk in the erstwhile Malabar District in terms of area.[2] After the formation of Kerala state, it continued to be largest Taluk in the state, until the formation of Nilambur Taluk in 1990s. At that time the Taluk had 6 Revenue blocks in it: Malappuram, Manjeri, Kondotty, Wandoor, Vengara, and Tirurangadi.[2][3] On 1st November 1957, the Revenue blocks of Vengara, and Tirurangadi, were added to the newly formed Tirur Taluk.[3] In the 1990s a major portion of Wandoor Revenue Block was separated to form Nilambur Taluk.[4] In 2013, Kondotty Taluk was formed by taking some villages from Eranad Taluk.[5]

Now, Eranad Taluk has 23 villages.
