The French came first to Tellicherry for trading, they got a strong grip at [[Mahé, Puducherry]], 5 km south of Tellicherry town. Towards end of the 17th century the British opened a factory north of Tellicherry. Later they obtained a site from Vadakkelamkur, the de facto ruler of [[Kolathunad]] and established a factory at Tellicherry in 1708. But the Udayamangalam branch of Kolathiri family and Korangoth Nair, the local chieftain resented this action and they attacked and caused serious damage to English property. In order to safe guard their trade activities with the support of the Kolathiri Raja they build a fort around the out laying hills of Tellicherry. The French occupation of [[Mahé, Puducherry]] in 1725 compelled the British Company to sthrengthen the fortification to establish a stronghold on the [[Malabar Coast]]. In 1736, the British took the possession of Dharmadam Island. The British sustained strong military establishment at Tellicherry, from 1776 to 1784. | The French came first to Tellicherry for trading, they got a strong grip at [[Mahé, Puducherry]], 5 km south of Tellicherry town.
