History of Grama Panchayat
Thalakulathoor Panchayat is a region that was situated in the erstwhile Kozhikode and Kurumbranad Taluks of the old Madras State. The present-day Thalakulathoor Grama Panchayat encompasses Thalakulathoor and Annassery desams (regions) that were under the control of the Zamorin of Kozhikode, and the Edakkara desam, which belonged to the Kurumbranad Swaroopam, the vassals of the Zamorin. The ancient Mathilakam Temple is said to have been used by the Zamorin's people for rituals and ceremonies. A large pond still exists near this temple. The desam bordered by this pond is Thalakulathoor. It is believed that the region got the name Thalakulathoor because there was a pond at the northern (തല - thala) end of the desam.
