Calcutta, originally a village, became significant in the 17th century when Job Charnock established it as a trading post for the British East India Company. The city grew in importance, becoming the capital of British India in 1772 and a center for cultural and political movements in the 19th century. After India gained independence in 1947, Calcutta was designated the capital of West Bengal.
