'''Malappuram district''' is a [[List of districts in India|district]] in the state of [[Kerala]], [[South India|India]]. The headquarters at [[Malappuram]].

The district was formed on 16 June 1969. Malappuram district is composed of portions of the former Palakkad and Kozhikode districts: Ernad taluk and portions of Tirur taluk in Kozhikode district, and portions of Perinthalmannna and Ponnani taluks in Palakkad district. In 1921 the present-day Malappuram district was part of the [[Moplah rebellion]]s, followed by decades of stagnant economic, social and political development. In the early years of [[Communist]] rule in Kerala, Malappuram experienced land reform under the [[Land reform in Kerala|Land Reform Ordinance]]. During the 1970s [[Persian Gulf]] [[oil]] reserves were opened to commercial extraction, and thousands of unskilled workers [[Kerala Gulf diaspora|migrated]] to the Gulf. They sent money home, supporting the rural economy, and by the late 20th century the region had [[First World]] health standards and near-universal literacy.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2084273_2084272_2084259,00.html | work=Time | title=Summer Journey 2011 | date=21 July 2011 | access-date=6 October 2017 | archive-date=24 August 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130824000116/http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2084273_2084272_2084259,00.html | url-status=dead }}</ref>
