Although known as the the first official Chinese settlement of India, Achipur also shares an interesting history connected to the Kolkata Port. The Achipur Barood Ghar or Barood Khana, officially known as the Achipur Powder Magazine.
Ships navigating towards Kolkata from Bay of Bengal carrying gunpowder had to deposit their stock in these storehouses or Barood Ghar located beside River Hooghly. During British rule (and probably even after independence), ships were only allowed to carry 100 lbs of gunpowder with them for emergency calls and signalling. During their return journey, the ships would collect their deposits from this Barood Ghar.
