It was the centre of the Malabar Rebellion of 1921 that shook the British administration in the erstwhile Malabar district of Madras Province.
The Malabar Karshikotsavam & Krishi Mela, held from 18 to 30 May 2013, was initiated by the Grama Panchayat president in collaboration with Kerala Agricultural University, Youth Clubs, and Pookkottur Grama Panchayat to transform Pookkottur into a model sustainable green village in Kerala.
