Suburbs and Townships

History

The word Kozhikode or Calicut originally referred to the Palayam and Valiyangadi regions only. When the city grew, Nadakkavu and Mavoor Road were also considered part of the city. Today, Medical College area, West Hill area and Kallayi area are also considered part of the city. Suburbs like Feroke, Cheruvannur, Ramanattukara and Pantheerankavu are not treated part of Kozhikode city because they have their own separate administrative structure. Beypore has a separate local body called Panchayath to administer it and they have a flourishing ship building industry.[2]
