Administrative History
Timeline from Malayalam Era (Kollavarsham) 1110 to 2025
Kollavarsham 1110 - 1119 (Raja Panchayat)
From available records, it can be understood that the Pazhayannur Panchayat existed as a 'Raja Panchayat' under the Kingdom of Cochin from the Malayalam Era (Kollavarsham) 1110, long before India's independence and the formation of a unified Kerala.
Records show that during that time, Pazhayannur, Thiruvilwamala, and Kondazhy panchayats joined together to form the Pazhayannur Group Panchayat Court, which pronounced verdicts on all cases within these panchayats. The panchayat at that time included the revenue villages of Chelakkode, Vadakkethara, Pazhayannur, Vennur, and Elanad.
