The Indian state of Kerala is divided into 14 revenue districts. On the basis of geographical, historical and cultural similarities, the districts are generally grouped into

• North Kerala: Kasaragod, Kannur, Wayanad, Kozhikkod (Kozhikode, Calicut), Malappuram
• Central Kerala: Palakkad, Thrissur, Ernakulam, Idukki
• South Kerala: Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kollam (Quilon), Alappuzha (Alleppey), Pathanamthitta, Kottayam

Almost all of the districts in Kerala have the same name as the important town or city in the district, the exception being Wayanad district, being the city of Kalpetta. The 14 districts are further divided into 62 taluks, 1,453 revenue villages and 1,007 en:Gram panchayats. Some of the districts and their towns were renamed in 1990 like Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), Kollam (Quilon), Alappuzha (Alleppey), Thrissur (Trichur or Thrishivaperur), Palakkad (Palghat), Kozhikode (Calicut) and Kannur (Cannanore).
