[...] The former is generally believed to have been so styled in honour of Chenappa father of the Naik of Chingleput who invited the English to build a factory in the neighbourhood. [...] The site chosen was a surf bank between the sea on the east and the.Elambore River now known as the Cooutn on the west.
