Kolkata is known as the capital the state of West Bengal in India. Its history can be traced back to 1690 alongside the rise of the East India Company, which was run by the English. Therefore, trade is largely responsible for its creation and growth over the centuries. An odd fact is that in 2003, the Calcutta High Court ruled that Kolkata does not have an official founder on record.
