Feroke is a town in Kozhikode district, Kerala - Keralam, India, near the Chaliyar River and south of Kozhikode city. It is known for its tile-making industry, with a long tradition of producing clay roofing tiles. Its river setting and proximity to Beypore connect it to the region’s history of trade and manufacturing.
The town’s communities reflect the religious and cultural diversity of the Malabar region. Malayalam is the main language, and local life centres on neighbourhood markets, schools, places of worship and small businesses. Tile factories, retail trade and services support the economy, alongside work in nearby Kozhikode. Feroke’s railway station and bridges across the Chaliyar are prominent transport landmarks.
Common civic concerns include road congestion, pedestrian safety, drainage and waste management. Residents also have a stake in protecting the Chaliyar from pollution, maintaining reliable public services and balancing industrial activity with healthy neighbourhoods. Better transport connections and employment opportunities remain important local priorities.
