Pattambi is a town, tehsil, and municipality in the Palakkad DistrictofKerala, India.[1] It is also the administrative headquarters of the Pattambi Taluk.
Pattambi was originally a part of the Nedunganad Swaroopam dynasty, which was ruled by Nedungadis, who held sway over a large part of present-day Pattambi and Ottapalam tehsils. By the end of the 15th century CE, Nedunganad came under the leadership of the Zamorin of Calicut, who was also the main ruler of the South Malabar region. The Zamorin appointed his local chieftain at Kavalappara Kovilakam to rule this area. It was a part of the Walluvanad taluk in the Malappuram Revenue Division of the Malabar District during the British Raj,[2] and later became part of the Ottapalam taluk. Now Pattambi is the headquarters of Pattambi Taluk, formed on 23 December 2013.[3]
