This article appears in Volume V05, Page 184 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CANNANORE, or KANANORE , a town of British India, in the Malabar
district
  of
Madras
 , on the
coast
 , 58 m. N. from
Calicut
  and 470 M. by rail from
Madras
 . Pop. (Igor) 27,811. Cannanore belonged to the Kalahasti or Cherakal rajas till the invasion of Malabar by Hyder Ali. In 1498 it was visited by Vasco da Gama; in 1501 a Portuguese factory was planted here by Cabral; in 1502 da Gama made a treaty with the raja, and in 1505 a fort was built. In 1656 the Dutch effected a
settlement
  and built the present fort, which they sold to Ali Raja in 1771. In 1783 Cannanore was captured by the British, and the reigning princess became tributary to the
East
  India Company. Here is the residence of the
Moplah
 
chief
 , known as the Ali Raja, who owns most of the Laccadive Islands. Cannanore was the military headquarters of the British on the west
coast
  until 1887.
