Late Shri K.P. Padmanabha Menon and Late Shri K.P. Bhaskara Menon were the important personalities who played a vital role in the development of Manjalur Desam (മഞ്ഞള്ലൂർ ദേശം). Late Shri K.P. Padmanabha Menon was also the founder and promoter of the Manjalur Co-operative bank as well as the first post master & developer.

The major attractions of the village, apart from the temples, are the great 'Mananchira' (മാനാഞ്ചിറ) a man-made freshwater pond built by the dynasty Samoothiri, the feudal ruler of Kozhikode in around the 14th century. The Samoothiri Raja had a Kovilakam in the village of Manjalur. Manjalur is the only place to have the Manachira Pond after Kozhikode. The pond, being the pride of the villagers, is still being used by the natives and is well preserved. 'Kota Mala'(കോട്ട മല) is another attraction which is a small hill which is home to numerous peacocks, wild boars, hares, and golden jackal. Kota Mala had the first ever windmill installed at the highest point in the district, the windmill having degenerated over time. Kotta Palla, is an area of green paddy fields. 'Sowparnika Garden', a flower garden in a coconut farm along with a wide variety of other cultivation like, vanilla, pepper, and a few medicinal plants and fruits, also hosts a place to witness the traditional way of coconut tapping and has a certified home-stay (Kalpataru) within (a plastic-free zone).^[1][2] Manjalur is the place where a Malayalam movies, Mazhayethum Munpe, was shot at a very old ancestral house 'Panikker Kunnath Veedu' alias (Vaniam Parambath Tharavadu) which is about 150 year old.^{[citation needed]}
