Eranad was the largest taluk in the erstwhile Malabar District in terms of area. After the formation of Kerala state, it continued to be largest taluk in the state, until the formation of Nilambur Taluk in 1990s. At that time the taluk had 6 Revenue blocks in it: Malappuram, Manjeri, Kondotty, Wandoor, Vengara, and Tirurangadi. On 1st November 1957, the Revenue blocks of Vengara, and Tirurangadi, were added to the newly formed Tirur Taluk. In the 1990s a major portion of Wandoor Revenue Block was separated to form Nilambur Taluk. In 2013, Kondotty Taluk was formed by taking some villages from Eranad Taluk. Now, Eranad Taluk has 23 villages. Villages
