Etymology

[edit]

Kaki Nandi wada,presently Kakinada claimed to be second Madras (presently called as Chennai) was aDutchsettlement.[8]They used to store and exportSaree(known as Coca or Koka in Telugu) products and hence the nameCoca-nada.[9]There was also a theory whenBritish East India Companyruled this city, they had difficulty pronouncing the city's nameCoca-nada,so they changed it asCo-Canadafor their convenience. It is even referred to asCoringaby theBritishbecause of the proximity of itssea portto theriver Koringa.

TheBritish East India Companyalso called itCocanadawhen they established the first Canadian Baptist Mission. AfterIndependence,it finally got the nameKakinada.Some theories suggest Kakasura's losing his eye by an arrow ofLord Ramagave the nameKakinadaor thatKaki Nandi vadais derived from (Kaka,anIkshvakuking) who built the town. Another theory says that it isKakulavada,an abode of crows – for catching fish on the shore.[10]

History

[edit]

During the colonization of theDutch Coromandelcoast, theDutch East India Companymaintained atrading postknown as Jaggernaikpoeram or Jaggernaickpuram (among other spellings) to the English. On 25 September 1734 Haji Muhammad Hussain, then Nawab of Rajamundry, issued aparwanaand a kaul to the Dutch by which the hamlet of "Jagernaykpalam" was given in full possession to the VOC for erecting a loge there.[11]

The British established the site in 1759 as a shipbuilding and ship repair facility. The British knew the area as the Coromandel coast, and Coringa Town (now called Kakinada) on the Coringa River, a branch of the Godavari river. As the principal seaport on this coast, it soon became a large shipbuilding yard of some importance. In 1802 a dock was built for repair ofRoyal Navyand other vessels, it boasted the only wet dock between Bombay and Calcutta. Cape Cori, or Hope Island as it was called was known internationally for shipbuilding and repairs.[12]The facilities were destroyed by massive cyclonic storms and tidal waves in 1787 (causing 20,000 fatalities) and again on 9 and 10 May 1832.[13][14]On 25 November 1839 yet another even greater cyclone finished off the port and it was not to recover. It has been estimated that the storm surge was as much as 40 feet. The harbor city was destroyed as were some 20,000 vessels of various sizes. This was one of the storms cited byHenry Piddingtonin a speech to the ‘'Asiatic Society of Bengal'’ where he first used the term ‘'cyclone'’ to describe the phenomena.[15]After the 1839 cyclone, homes were relocated further inland.

In 1901 due to sand depositing, and silting of theestuarynot a single ship by any consequence could enter the port, by 1905 the construction of ships had ceased, and the port was closed.[16][17]

In the Madras Presidency, the District ofRajahmundrywas created in 1823.[18]It was reorganized in 1859 and was bifurcated intoGodavariandKrishnadistricts. During British rule,Rajahmundrywas the headquarters ofGodavaridistrict, which was further bifurcated intoEast GodavariandWest Godavaridistricts in 1925. When theGodavaridistrict was divided, Kakinada became the headquarters ofEast GodavariandElurubecame headquarters ofWest Godavari.On 4 April 2022, East Godavari district further bifurcated into 3 and one of the New district was formed in the name of Kakinada, with Kakinada as headquarters
