Thalassery/TLY, formerly Tellicherry, is a city on the Malabar Coast in Kannur district, in the state of Kerala, India, bordered by the districts of Mahé (Pondicherry), Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kasaragod and Kodagu (Karnataka). Thalassery may have originated from the ancient Malayalam linguistic usage 'Thala' (Head) and 'cheri' (low lying settlement place), thus Thalassery or 'starting place of a settlement or head of a settlement'.
The palm-fringed terrain has a scenic coastline and features four rivers, canals and hills with orange-hued rock. One of the four rivers is the Mahé River (Mayyazhi river).

During the British Raj, the Mahé River was nicknamed the English Channel, because it separated British-ruled Thalassery from French-ruled Mahé. The Government of Kerala has included Thalassery in its Heritage City Project. The project includes the preservation of historical structures. Thalassery is called as the City of Three C's-Cake, Cricket and Circus as the first bakery in Kerala was established in the City, Cricket was first played in India here, also the first Circus School was instituted in this city.
