Duarte Barbosa, a Portuguese traveller who visited Kumbla near Kasaragod in 1514, had recorded that rice was exported to Mali Island whence coir was imported. Dr. Francis Buccanan, who was the family doctor of Lord Wellesley, visited Kasaragod in 1800.

Kasaragod district lies between 11° 18' and 12° 48' north latitudes and between 74° 52' and 75° 26' east longitudes.
