Kottayam-Malabar is a census town near Kuthuparamba in Kannur district of Kerala state in India. It is different from the city of Kottayam in Kottayam district of the same state.
==History== Kingdom of Kottayam is a historic province of old Malabar district in India. It covered what is today Talassery Taluk of Kannur district. The headquarters of the kingdom was at Kottayam-Malabar town. The Raja of Kottayam presided over the province. Pazhassi Raja was a member of the western branch of the Kottayam royal clan. When Hyder Ali of the Kingdom of Mysore occupied Malabar in 1773, the Raja of Kottayam found political asylum in Kallara near Vikom in Kottayam district of Kerala. Pazhassi Raja, the fourth prince in line for succession to the throne during this period, became one of the de facto heads of state, surpassing several older royal contenders.
