The Name Madras Derives From Madraspatnam, The Site Chosen By The British East India Company For A Permanent Settlement In 1639. To Secure A Reliable Labor Supply, They Had Promised A 30-Year Exemption From Duties For Indian Weavers In The Area, And Within A Year Nearly 400 Families Of Weavers Had Settled In Madras.
