Administrative / Biographical History

Once a factory had been established in 1651 at Hugli in Bengal, factors travelled further up the Ganges valley and settled at Kazimbasar, a centre of commerce where raw silk, sugar and saltpetre could be purchased. A factory was established there in 1658. In 1685, hostilities between the Company and the Emperor Aurengzeb resulted in the temporary expulsion of all Company servants from the Emperor's dominions. The factory was confiscated but was restored to the Company in or around 1700. In 1765 the district became part of the Company's first territories.
