Geography==

Chatrapur is located at 19.35°N 84.98°E / 19.35; 84.98. It has an average elevation of 17 m (56 ft).

Etymology==

The city's official name is Chatrapur (' Odia : ଛତ୍ରପୁର), literally meaning "Home of Lord Kali". "Chatrapur" is the anglicised form of the city's name, commonly used in and after the British era. The anglicised form is still used unofficially by people.

History ==

Chatrapur is the district headquarters of Ganjam. It has got its name from the word "Ganj-i-am", which means the Granary of the World. The Ganjam area was a part of ancient Kalinga which was occupied by Ashok in 261 BC. Though in 1757 it was French Commander Bussy, who marched into Ganjam and realized areas of tribute from federal chiefs, it was the English who ultimately defeated the French in the Decan and annexed Ganjam in 1759. The office of the Collector, Ganjam was established in 1794. With the beginning of the 20th century, struggle for amalgamation of Oriya tracts was keenly organised in Ganjam, and in 1896 Oriya was recognized as the official language. The headquarter of the district of Ganjam was abandoned in 1855 owing to an outbreak of a very dreadful epidemic fever by which 80% population of the Ganjam town was reduced. The headquarters temporarily shifted to Gopalpur, then to Berhampur and finally in and around 1902 to Chatrapur.

Industries==

Indian Rare Earths Ltd (OSCOM) which is a public sector undertaking under the Dept. of Atomic Energy is situated near Chatrapur which beneficiates different minerals from the beach sands of the Bay of Bengal. Different products such as zircon, ilmenite, sillimanite, Rutile are extracted. It also houses a thorium extraction plant. There is a huge chain of cashewnut factories situated in or near Chatrapur. A Joint Venture between Saraf Agencies of Kolkata and The Russian Federation has been signed to start a Titanium slag and pig iron manufacturing plant. However, Chatrapur, despite being on NH-5, the Chennai-Howrah Main railway line and with ample land and water has not been able to attract any large scale Industry which could potentially change the geo-economic scenario of the region.

The city is served by two ports, Gopalpur Port one of the Oldest Port and upcoming satellite port at the Bahuda Mouth (Muhan) by Paradip Port Trust (PPT).
