==Etymology==
[[File:Palm trees in Paleth, Kalpakanchery.jpg|thumbnail|Palms at Kalpakanchery]]
The name ''Kalpakanchery'' is believed to evolve from the Malayalam words ''Kalpakam'' (Coconut tree) and ''Chery'' (land) as it was ''the land of coconut trees''.<ref name="history">{{cite web |title=History of Kalpakanchery |url=http://lsgkerala.in/kalpakancherypanchayat/history/ |website=lsgkerala.in |access-date=15 July 2020}}</ref>

== History ==
[[File:Kalpakanchery (27).jpg|thumbnail|A field at Paleth, Kalpakanchery]]
Kalpakanchery was a part of [[Kingdom of Tanur|''Vettathunad'']] in the medieval period, like most of the other villages in the [[Tirur Taluk]].<ref name="Logan">{{Cite book|title=Malabar Manual (Volume-I)|last=Logan|first=William|publisher=Asian Educational Services|year=2010|isbn=9788120604476|location=New Delhi|pages=631–666}}</ref> ''Vettathunad'', also known as the [[Kingdom of Tanur]], was a coastal city-state kingdom in the [[Malabar Coast]]. It was ruled by the ''Vettathu Raja'', who was a vassal of the [[Zamorin of Calicut]]. ''Vettathunad'' was known for its trade relationship with the [[Arabs|Arab merchants]] in the medieval period. The [[Kshatriya]] family of the ''Vettathu Rajas'' became extinct with the death of the last ''Raja'' on 24 May 1793.<ref name="Logan"/>

The Lord of [[Azhvanchery]] (who was also the supreme religious head of [[Nambudiri]] [[Brahmin]]s of Kerala during medieval period, based at the neighbouring [[Athavanad]]) and the Lord of Kalpakanchery were usually present at the coronation (''Ariyittu Vazhcha'') of a new [[Zamorin]] of [[History of Kozhikode|Calicut]]. ''Kalpakanchery Thamprakkal'' were related to the [[Nambudiri]]s of [[Kumbidi|Panniyoor]] while ''[[Azhvanchery Thamprakkal]]'' to those of [[Sukapuram|Chowwara]].<ref>{{cite book

It is believed that the soldiers of [[Tipu Sultan]] had tented at Nadayalparamba and Cholakamad in Kalpakanchery during the Mysorean conquest of Malabar. Some 20,000 people attended a [[Khilafat Movement]] meeting held in Kalpakanchery under the leadership of [[K. P. Kesava Menon]] just before the 1921 [[Malabar rebellion]]. During the uprising, a gang under the leadership of Odayappurath Chekkutty, who was also a great admirer and helper of the freedom fighter [[Mohammed Abdur Rahiman]], from Kalpakanchery guarded the ''Kizhake Kovilakam'' (a seat of the ruling family of the [[Zamorin of Calicut]]) and [[Arya Vaidya Sala]] at [[Kottakkal]]. The Kalpakanchery Gram Panchayat was formed on 10 October 1940, as a part of the [[Malabar District|British Malabar District Board]].<ref name="history"/> It is one of the oldest Gram Panchayats in Malabar region. At the time of 1951 Census of India, the erstwhile [[Malabar District]] was divided into only 100 Gram Panchayats and Kalpakanchery was one among them.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Statistical Atlas of the Madras State (1951)|last=Rajabhushanam|first=D.
