CHARNOCK, JOB (d. 1693)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 947 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHARNOCK, JOB (d. 1693) ,
English
  founder of Calcutta, went out to India in 1655 or 1656, apparently not in the
East
  India
Company
 's service, but soon joined it. He was stationed at
Cossimbazar
 , and subsequently at Patna. In 1685 he became
chief
  agent at Hugli. Being besieged there by the Mogul viceroy of
Bengal
 , he put the
company
 's goods and servants on board his light vessels and dropped down the river 27 M. to the
village
  of Sutanati, a place well chosen for the purpose of
defence
 , which occupied the site of what is now Calcutta. It was only, however, at the third attempt that Charnock finally settled down at this spot, and the selection of the future
capital
  of India was entirely due to his stubborn
resolution
 . He was a silent morose man, not popular among his contemporaries, but "always a faithfull Man to the Company." He is said to have married a Hindu widow.
