In the olden days Valluvanad was an independent princely state. The ruler of Valluvanad was a witness during the offering of the title deed by king Veeraraghava in 1320. After the death of Cheraman Perumal(1320-1342) Kerala was divided among the rulers of Thiruvithamcoore, Kochi, Kolothunaadu, Kurumbanadu and Valluvanad states. The post of the ruler of Valluvanad was known as Valluvakkonathiri. The eldest member of Ayirazhi- Kadannamanna-aripra 'Kovilakam' became the Valluvakkonathiri. At first the capital of Valluvanad was Kuruvaand and later Angadipuram became the capital. As it was the land ruled by the Valluvakkonathiri it came to be known as Valluanad.

There were large scale violence and riots in different parts of valluvanad, which led to the killings of many Hindus and Muslims. The rebellious farmers submitted a memorandum was submitted to the government depicting their fears and problems, and stating that the protest and riots were the outcome of the deeds of the landlords trying to devoid them of their farmland and properties. 1921 (MCMXXI) was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...
