Up until 1860, this area was part of [[Chelakkara|Chelakkara Taluk]]. It is the headquarters of [[Talappilly]] Taluk. Wadakkanchery obtained municipality status from the government by merging with the [[Mundathikode]] panchayath. There are two places with similarly pronounced names: &#039;&#039;&#039;Wadakanchery&#039;&#039;&#039; and [[Vadakkenchery]] (the latter in [[Palakkad district]]).<br /> <br /> ==Demographics==<br /> <br /> {{bar box<br /> |title = Social composition in Wadakkancherry (2011) &lt;ref&gt;International Journal of Research Publication Analysis (IJRPA). “Political Killings in Malabar (Kerala), 1978–2018: Patterns by Political Affiliation, Religion and Caste.” PDF.
