Tranquebar, also known as Tharangambadi, is a coastal town in the present-day state of Tamil Nadu, India. It was at Tranquebar that the Danish East India Company established a trading post or factory in 1620. The Danish factory at Tranquebar served as a center for trade and commercial activities between the Danish and the local merchants in the region. Tranquebar remained under Danish control for several years until it was eventually sold to the British in 1845.
