NEGAPATAM , a seaport of British India, in the
Tanjore
 
district
  of
Madras
 , forming one municipality with Nagore, a port 3 M. N. at the mouth of the Vettar river. Pop. (1901) 57,190. It carries on a brisk
trade
  with the Straits Settlements and Ceylon, steamers running once a
week
  to Colombo. The
chief
  export is
rice
 . Negapatam is the terminus of a branch of the
South
  Indian railway, and contains large railway workshops. It is also a depot for coolie emigration. Negapatam was one of the earliest settlements of the Protuguese on the Coromandel
coast
 . It was taken by the Dutch in 166o, becoming their
chief
  possession in India, and by the English in 1781. From 1799 to 1845 it was the headquarters of
Tanjore
 
district
 . There is a large population of Labbais, Mahommedans of mixed Arab descent, who are keen traders. Jesuit and Wesleyan missions are carried on.
