History
The French arrived in 1673. Chandernagore became a larger trading centre than neighbouring Calcutta. Its importance fell after Colonel Robert Clive of the British East India Company and Admiral Watson captured Chandernagore in the Battle of Chandernagore 1757. Control was returned to the French in 1816, where it remained until independence.
