History of Grama Panchayat
Chendamangalam is the abode of the Paliyathachans, who traditionally held the post of Prime Minister of the Cochin Kingdom from 1663 to 1809 AD. There are references to Chendamangalam in Sangam period works and Chilapathikaram. The poem Kokasandesha mentions Chendamangalam and the Arangav temple. The heroine of Uddanda Shastri's Sanskrit work Kokila Sandesha is said to belong to the 'Marakkara' house in Chendamangalam. It can be assumed that Chendamangalam is Jayanthamangalam or Choornamangalam.
