Why go
The establishment of Fort St. George marked the birth of the new city that is Madras, in the year 1640. The fort was named after St George, the patron saint of England. The British East India Company, after buying the land from the Nayak of Vandavasi in 1639, led the establishment of what was called the Madrasemen, the permanent settlement of the company.
