Sutanuti

Sutanuti was one of the three villages which were merged to form the city of Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) in India, along with Gobindapur and Kalikata.

As trade increased the company persuaded merchants and traders to settle there.

By 1696 the British had started building fortifications there, which eventually led to the Battle of Plassey in 1757.

Eventually the village grew and merged with the other two settlements to form Kolkata.
