Anchuthengu Fort : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anchuthengu Fort
The British East India Company (EIC) established Anchuthengu Fort or Anjengo Fort in 1695 after the Queen of Attingal gave it permission to do so. The fort served as the first signalling station for ships arriving from England. The fort was the East India Company's first permanent post on the Malabar Coast. The EIC received permission in 1790 to build the fort, which they completed in 1695. Two years later the locals attacked the EIC factory, but the incident was of little importance. Of more importance was the rebellion at Attingal on 15 April 1721. Local notables, who objected to the EIC's policy of providing the Queen with gifts but ignoring them, attacked a 140-man EIC expedition bringing gifts to the Queen from Anjengo fort, some 10 miles away. After massacring the expedition the locals attacked the fort, which withstood their efforts. The EIC sent a relief force from Thalassery that ended the siege. The fort played an important role in the Anglo-Mysore War. During the Anglo-Mysore wars the EIC stored ammunition at the fort. ==References==
