==History==
Kalingapatnam (Kalinga Patana in [[Odia language|Odia]]) was one of ancient [[Kalinga (historical region)|Kalinga]]'s harbour villages. European merchants disembarked from the ships and made it their port. It was a minor port and Europeans resided here during East India Company regime. Until 1958, huge ships from Malaysia and Singapore arrived at this port. Perfumes, textiles etc were exported to other countries from here. There was a huge coco plantation spread across the local beaches that were also exported. Kalingapatana port was closed during [[British raj|British rule in India]] to avoid other invaders entering the country. However, the lighthouse constructed by the British at Kalingapatana port stands as a witness to the European regime. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://srikakulam.ap.gov.in/eco-tourism/|title = Eco Tourism | District Srikakulam, Government of Andhra Pradesh | India}}</ref>
