	~~==History==~~
	Hindu dharmic leader [[Swami Vivekananda]] landed at Budge Budge ferry ghat in 1897 when he returned from his [[Chicago]] visit. The anniversary is still celebrated on 19 February with great zeal. The old railway station from where he boarded the train to [[Calcutta]] is decorated with flowers on this day. The waiting room where he rested for a while is preserved.

	Budge Budge was the site where the ship [[Komagata Maru]] was allowed to land following its return from [[Vancouver]]. The ship was chartered by a group of Sikhs to challenge the [[Continuous journey regulation\|exclusion laws]] enacted by [[Canada]] to restrict Indian immigration. Upon entry into the harbour, the ship was stopped by a British gunboat, and the passengers were placed under guard. The government of the British Raj saw the men on the [[Komagata Maru]] not only as self-confessed lawbreakers, but also as dangerous political agitators. When the ship docked at Budge Budge, the police went to arrest [[Baba Gurdit Singh]] and the 20 or so other men that they saw as leaders. He resisted arrest, a friend of his assaulted a policeman and a general riot ensued. Shots were fired and 19 of the passengers were killed. Some escaped, but the remainder were arrested and imprisoned or sent to their villages and kept under village arrest for the duration of the First World War. This incident became known as the Budge Budge Riot.

	Historically the oldest people of this town were the 'Haldars' who came here to guard a fort near the bank of the River [[Ganges]]. A British writer who had come with Clive around 1740-50 chronicled this event. Maniklal was the main person at the fort and his soldiers lost to Clive's troops.

Budge Budge owes much of its importance to the port, oil storage and [[jute]] mills. Being close to [[Kolkata]] and on the shores of the [[Hooghly River]] makes it a strategic location for oil storage and is the biggest oil storage for the metropolis [[Calcutta]] with big [[Public Sector Undertaking|PSUs]] like Petroleum Wharves Budge Budge under [[Kolkata Port Trust]]. BPCL, HPCL, IOC having large units there. Jute mills were the biggest employers in the area till they started falling sick. Prominent among them are New Central Jute Mill and Budge Budge Jute Mills. At their height before 1971 these jute mills used to employ thousands of workers (New Central Jute Mills has been said to have employed as many as twenty thousand people) but after the [[partition of India]] and the subsequent creation of [[Bangladesh]], supply of raw materials for these jute mills decreased. This, along with failure of trade unions lead to the closing of most of these jute mills.
