Feroke is a Municipality and a part of Kozhikode metropolitan area under Kozhikode Development Authority (K.D.A) in the Kozhikode district of the Indian state of Kerala. The village was originally named Farookhabad by Tippu Sultan. Later, this was changed to Feroke by the British. It is also assumed that Tipu Sulthan used Feroke as his capital in Malabar.
