<br />
=== Formation of Panchayat ===<br />
Vengara panchayat was constituted in 11 December 1961 by including ''Vengara'' , ''Kannamangalam'' villages and by merging ''Valiyora and Kannamangalam'' panchayats. This was headquartered at [[Vengara, Malappuram district|Vengara]]. There were 11 wards at the initial time. The first election was in 1964. Shri. Chakkeri Ahmed Kutti Sahib who was later became the Minister of Education in [[Government of Kerala]] served as the first president.{{fact|date=May 2021}}<br />
<br />
=== Partition ===<br />
For many geographical and demographic reasons, the development process of Vengara Panchayat was more in [[Vengara, Malappuram district|Vengara]] when comparing to other places in the panchayat. Due to the low population density of Kannamangalam, it did not achieve significant development until 1995. Due to this, government divided this panchayat into ''Vengara'' and ''Kannamangalam'' in 2 December 2000. In the next election, Shri. Kallan Muhammed and Shri. K Saitalavi was elected as the President and vice president respectively.{{fact|date=May 2021}}<br />
