This town was a major river port for trade in India before colonization. </p><p>The district has thousands of years of rich heritage as part of the Bengali kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Bhurshut" title="Bhurshut">Bhurshut</a>. The first European to reach this area was the <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portuguese</a> sailor <a href="/wiki/Vasco_da_Gama" title="Vasco da Gama">Vasco da Gama</a>. In 1536 Portuguese traders obtained a permit from Sultan <a href="/wiki/Mahmud_Shah_(Sultan_of_Bengal)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mahmud Shah (Sultan of Bengal)">Mahmud Shah</a> to trade in this area. In those days the Hooghly River was the main route for transportation and Hooghly served as an excellent trading port. </p><p>Within a few decades, the town of Hooghly turned into a major commercial centre and the largest port in Bengal. In 1579–80, <a href="/wiki/Mughal_Empire" title="Mughal Empire">Mughal</a> Emperor <a href="/wiki/Akbar" title="Akbar">Akbar</a> gave permission to a Portuguese captain Pedro Tavares to establish a city anywhere in the Bengal province. They chose Hooghly, and it became the first European settlement in Bengal. In 1599, the Portuguese traders built a <a href="/wiki/Convent" title="Convent">convent</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Church_(building)" title="Church (building)">church</a> in <a href="/wiki/Bandel" title="Bandel">Bandel</a>. This was the first Christian church in Bengal and is known as ‘Bandel Church’ today. </p><p>The Portuguese traders started <a href="/wiki/History_of_slavery" title="History of slavery">slave trading</a>, <a href="/wiki/Robbery" title="Robbery">robbery</a> and <a href="/wiki/Religious_conversion" title="Religious conversion">converting natives into Christians</a> by pressure. At one point they stopped paying taxes to the <a href="/wiki/Mughal_Empire" title="Mughal Empire">Mughal Empire</a>. As a result, Emperor <a href="/wiki/Shah_Jahan" title="Shah Jahan">Shah Jahan</a> ordered the then-ruler of Bengal province, <a href="/wiki/Qasim_Khan_Juvayni" title="Qasim Khan Juvayni">Qasim Khan Juvayni</a>, to block the city of Hooghly. This led to a war in which the <a href="/wiki/Portugal" title="Portugal">Portuguese</a> were defeated. </p><p>Among other European powers that came to Hooghly were the <a href="/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Dutch</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark">Danish</a>, the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">British</a>, the <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">French</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgians</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germans</a>. Dutch traders centred their activities in the town <a href="/wiki/Hugli-Chuchura" title="Hugli-Chuchura">Chuchura</a> which is south of Hooghly. <a href="/wiki/Chandannagar" title="Chandannagar">Chandannagar</a> became the base of the French and the city remained under their control from 1816 to 1950. Similarly, the Danish establishment in settlement in <a href="/wiki/Serampore" title="Serampore">Serampore</a> (1755). All these towns are on the west bank of the <a href="/wiki/Hooghly_River" title="Hooghly River">Hooghly River</a> and served as ports. Among these European countries, the British ultimately became most powerful. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chinsurah_N.S_Road.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Chinsurah_N.S_Road.jpg/220px-Chinsurah_N.S_Road.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Chinsurah_N.S_Road.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="240" data-file-height="180" /></a><figcaption>Chinsurah N.S Road</figcaption></figure> <p>Initially the British were based in and around the city of Hooghly like traders from other countries.

The reason behind this decision was the strategically safe location of Calcutta and its proximity to the <a href="/wiki/Bay_of_Bengal" title="Bay of Bengal">Bay of Bengal</a>. As a result, trade and commerce in the <a href="/wiki/Bengal" title="Bengal">Bengal</a> province shifted from the town of Hooghly to Calcutta. Hooghly lost its importance as Calcutta prospered. </p><p>After the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Buxar" title="Battle of Buxar">Battle of Buxar</a> this region was brought under direct British rule until India's independence in 1947. After independence, this district merged into the state of <a href="/wiki/West_Bengal" title="West Bengal">West Bengal</a>. </p><p>Though the city of Hooghly is more than 500 years old, the district of Hooghly was formed in 1795 with the city of Hooghly as its headquarters. Later the headquarters shifted to the town of <a href="/wiki/Hugli-Chuchura" title="Hugli-Chuchura">Chuchura</a>. In 1843 the <a href="/wiki/Howrah_district" title="Howrah district">Howrah district</a> was created from the southern portion of this district.
