Vennicode was once the abode of British and Dutch people and the old houses built up by them were called Bungalows. Vennicode was the home of a British man called Venni Saipe who was actively involved in procuring tapioca flour (dried and powdered tapioca) and sourcing it to soldiers during the second world war. The remnants of a customs house built during the British era still exist here located opposite to the Akathumuri Railway station. There is a story that the erstwhile Ruler of Travancore allocated this land (surrounded by water on all three sides) to Ezhava warriors who helped the King to win over Deshaganadu (Pandalam)- Venni means victory, land assigned to victorious people came to be known as Vennicode (Abode of Victory).
