TELLICHERRY , a seaport of British India, in the Malabar
district
  of
Madras
 , between Cannanore and the French
settlement
  of Mahe. Pop. (1901) 27,883. It is a healthy and picturesque town, built upon a group of wooded hills running down to the sea, and is protected by a natural breakwater of rock. The town with its suburbs occupies about 5 sq. tn., and was at one time defended by a strong mud
wall
 . The old fort
still stands to the north of the town. The
East
  India Company established a factory here in 1683 for the pepper and cardamom trade. For two years (178o-82) the town withstood a siege by Hyder's general, and in the subsequent wars with Mysore Tellicherry was the base of operations for the ascent of the Ghats from the west coast. The town is a busy centre of export trade in coffee, coco-nut produce, spices and
sandal
 -
wood
 . The Basel
Protestant
  mission has a station here. The municipality manages the Brennen college founded in 1862.
