Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
A factory at Madapollam is first mentioned in the records in 1676. Madapollam was a weaving and dyeing village where cotton goods known as Madapollams were made. It was situated at the delta of the Godavery River on India's east coast, not far from the Company's important settlement at Masulipatam. The separate records from this factory cease at around the time Fort St George became a Presidency, which suggests that they were then sent there rather than to London.
