The geography and land use history of Triprangode reflect the agricultural and social life of Malabar. In ancient times, most of the land here was in the possession of landlords and devaswoms. The main landowners were the Namboothiris, Nair chieftains, and Muslim chieftains. The common farmers mostly lived as tenant farmers and did not own any land.

Agriculture was the main source of livelihood. Along with paddy cultivation, there were also handicrafts such as paddy reaping, pottery making, and thatch making. High rents, evictions, and social inequality made the lives of the farmers miserable. These injustices later led to socio-political uprisings such as the Malabar Rebellion.

The Malabar Tenancy Act of 1930 and the subsequent land struggles brought relief to the farmers. The land laws that came after the formation of the Kerala state saved the farmers from the threat of eviction. Thus, the land tenure history of Triprangode is considered a prime example of social change and agrarian reform in Malabar.
