It is also known the ruler of the Kingdom of Tanur (Vettathunadu Swaroopam) had assisted the Portuguese to build a fort at the island of Chaliyam, which was a part of Southern Parappanad. It was destroyed during the Battle at Chaliyam fort occurred in 1571. Feroke became a part of the Kingdom of Mysore in the late 18th century CE. Following the Third Anglo-Mysore War and the subsequent Treaty of Seringapatam, Feroke became a part of Malabar District under British Raj. Feroke was included in Eranad Taluk in the Malappuram Revenue Division of Malabar District with its Taluk headquarters at Manjeri. Following the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, Feroke became a part of Tirurangadi Revenue block of Tirur Taluk. On 16 June 1969, Eranad Taluk, Tirur Taluk, Tirurangadi, and Parappanangadi were transferred to the newly formed Malappuram district. However, three Revenue Villages of Tirur Taluk, namely Feroke, Ramanattukara, and Kadalundi, remained in Kozhikode district, as they were much closer to Kozhikode city centre. However Kadalundi Nagaram beach (where the Kadalundi River flows into Arabian Sea, a part of Vallikkunnu grama panchayat), Tenhipalam, the centre of University of Calicut, and Karippur, the site of Kozhikode International Airport, became parts of Malappuram.

Feroke, Ramanattukara, and Kadalundi are parts of Kozhikode taluk and Kozhikode metropolitan area.
