Job Charnock, an administrator with the East India Company was traditionally credited as the founder of the city of Kolkata (then Calcutta). However some academics have recently challenged the view that Charnock was the founder, and in response to public interest, the High Court ruled in 2003 that the city does not have a specific founder.
