The present city of Madras is itself, however, only about 350 years old. The quest of an East India Company factor, Francis Day, for cheaper cloth and more peaceful surroundings led to the founding of Madras in 1639. The city of today, one of the great metropolises of the world, and the fourth largest city in India, grew from the fort Day and his superior Andrew Cogan built on a narrow spit of no-man's land that Day's dubash Beri Thimanna negotiated with the local governor of the Vijaynagar Empire. The approximately 5 square kilometer sand strip Day was granted has now grown into a city of about 170 sq. kms with a population of 3.25 million. Madras was Britain’s first major settlement in India and it was here that many who went on to build the Empire first learnt their trade. As a consequence, the city is replete with much that is of significance in British Indian history. But the much older settlements have stories to tell too, and so the city is an amalgam of ancient and more modern history. Everywhere one goes in Madras, one can find history written in every name. Particularly charming features of Madras are its allegiance to ancient traditions, no matter how modernized it has become, and its willingness to spread out further rather than develop into a multi-storey concrete jungle. The result is a widespread city still open to the skies; a green, airy city with several vestiges of its rural past; a city that adheres to the leisurely tempo of the life of a world of yesterday; a city whose values of another day still survive midst the humdrum bustle of today; a city that still retains the charm, culture and courtesies of the ages.
