In the 18th Century Kadalur Point was known as Cotta Point. It is believed that the lighthouse was built after a shipwreck on the rocky shores at the point and one can still see the remains of it.<ref>tripuntold - [https://www.tripuntold.com/kerala/kozhikode/kadalur-point-lighthouse/ "Kadalur Point Lighthouse"], Retrieved on 11 June 2020.</ref><br />
