- User Conditions:
- Administrative Context:
- In 1633 some factors from Masulipatam secured permission to settle at Balasore, a town in Orissa situated about seven miles inland on the Burubalang river. A factory was established in 1642; the main items purchased were silk and saltpetre. In 1657 the factory was made subordinate to the factory at Hugli although it maintained close contact with Fort St George. In around 1700, the mouth of the river began to fill up and the coastline gradually advanced, leaving Balasore inaccessible to ships. The town's commerce was eventually transferred to Calcutta.
