History

The constituency was previously known as Paravur Assembly constituency. It was temporarily merged with Varkala Assembly constituency in 1957. Because of the merger, Varkala Assembly constituency became a two-member constituency during the legislative assembly election of 1957 and interim election of 1960.[2][3] Later in 1967, the new constituency was carved out of Varkala and was named as Chathannoor Assembly constituency. The MLA office was shifted from Paravur to Chathannoor. In 1967, P. Ravindran of CPI became the first elected member from Chathannoor Assembly constituency.[4][5]
