Covelong

Fishing village in Chennai

Covelong (Kovalam) is a fishing village in Chennai, India, 40 kilometres south of Chennai, on the East Coast Road en route to Mahabalipuram. Covelong was a port town developed in the 1720s by the Ostend Company on a place provided by the Nawab of Carnatic Saadat Ali. The factory was inaugurated in 1719 by Sir Godefroid Gollet de La Merveille, and the building of a fort started at that time. After the closing down of the Imperial Company in 1731, the port was taken over by the French in 1746, and destroyed by the British in 1752.
