==State reorganization and merger==<br />
On 1 November 1956, under the [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]], Kerala was formed by the merger of [[Travancore-Cochin]] state with the [[Malabar district]] (including Fort Cochin and the Laccadive Islands) of Madras State, [[Kasaragod]] taluk of the [[South Canara]] district and the Amindive Islands. The southern part of [[Travancore-Cochin]], the five taluks of Agastheeswaram, Thovala, Kalkulam, Vilavahcode and Shencotta, were transferred from Travancore-Cochin to the [[Madras State]].<ref name="1955ReorgStates">{{cite web | url=http://www.epw.in/system/files/pdf/1955_7/42/reorganisation_of_statesthe_approach_and_arrangements.pdf | title=Reorganisation of States, 1955 | publisher=The Economic Weekly | date=15 October 1955 | accessdate=25 July 2015}}</ref> After the reorganization, the assembly constituencies increased from 106 with 117 seats in 1954 to 114 with 126 seats in 1957.<br />
