Armagon
Armagaon, also known as Armagon, was a British East India Company colony in Southern India. It was the second colony established by the company, and its original name was Durgarazpatnam or Duraspatam. Located 36 miles north of Pulicat, the small port was a significant site for salt manufacturers.
The British erected a factory in Armagaon in February 1626, which included a two-storey high wall with a round bulwart built single by itself. Although the exact description of the structure is available, it is mentioned that it was hastily abandoned in 1641 in favor of Fort St. George. Historically, it is interesting to note that the British obtained the land for the fort through a unique agreement with the local ruler, Venkatagiri Raja, after firing a cannon shot.
Today, there is little information available on the current status of Armagaon. However, its historical significance as a pioneering British East India Company colony in India remains notable. The site is now part of the state of Andhra Pradesh, and its history is documented in various historical accounts, including those written by early British traders and officials.
