TRANQUEBAR

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 169 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TRANQUEBAR , a town of British India, in the
Tanjore
 
district
  of
Madras
 , on the sea-
coast
 , 18 m. N. of
Negapatam
 . Pop. (19o1), 13,142. A Danish factory was opened here as early as 162o. It was taken by the British in 18o1, but restored in 1814, and finally
purchased
 , with the other Danish settlements in India, in 1845. In Danish times Tranquebar was a busy port, but it lost its importance when the railway was opened to
Negapatam
 . It was the first
settlement
  of
Protestant
  missionaries in India, founded by Ziegenbalg and Plutschau (
Lutherans
 ) in 1706; and there is still a Lutheran mission high school and mission
press
 .
