History of Grama Panchayat

Olavanna is a region situated adjacent to Kozhikode city, the cultural heartland of Malabar. The influence of the Zamorin rulers and the British administrators who followed them has significantly shaped the cultural heritage of the region. It is believed that the name Olavanna originated from the region's fertile soil and rich agricultural landscape. In earlier times, land ownership in the area was largely held by the Zamorin royal family and the Ayyasira Prabhus. Subsequently, the land came under the control of various traditional chieftain families (Naduvazhi tharavads).
