Baranagar, an ancient region of artisan people, is situated adjacent toKolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC). The place is situated on the bank of the riverHooghly. Portuguese colonies at first established their business camp here which was in existence till 1862.[4] Portuguese settlement became the seat of a Dutch trading station and an important anchorage for Dutch shipping.
