After India’s Independence, the area comprising todays’ Padoor remained part of the Malabar District within the State of Madras. Within this disctrict, we were part of the Ponnani Taluk. In Ponnani Taluk, Padoor and Thoyakkavu together formed the smaller revenue unit named Kundazhiyoor Panchayath (Kundazhiyoor Amsam).
(Note: A map of the Padoor Desam within the Ponnani Taluk during 19th or early 20th Century (undated though) is included in the Basel Mission Archieves published during 2012. Name of the desam was shown therein as "PATUR".)
The States Reorganization Act of 1956 that came into being as on 1st November 1956 was responsible for formation of the India's provinces based on linguistic and semantic barriers. In line with this Act, the new State of Kerala was formally inaugurated on November 1, 1956.
