==History==
Anjengo lies in an oxbow at the mouth of a large river. Originally, it was an old Portuguese settlement between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram, near Varkala. In the 17th century, the Queen of Attingal granted the British East India Company the right to establish a factory and a fort at Anjengo, which became the Company's first trade settlement in Kerala. The Anjengo Fort was erected in 1694. It was an occasional port of call for East Indiamen. The fort played an important role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars of the 18th century but, by the 19th, the fort was considered an unnecessary expense. It and the factory were abandoned in 1813. In the 19th century, the town remained known for its excellent ropes (manufactured from the local palms) and also exported pepper, homespun cotton cloth, and drugs.
