Dutch Malabar
Dutch Malabar (Dutch: Malabar, Cannara en Wingurla; Malayalam: ഡച്ച് മലബാർ) also known by the name of its main settlement Cochin, were a collection of settlements and trading factories of the Dutch East India Company on the Malabar Coast between 1661 and 1795, and was a subdivision of what was collectively referred to as Dutch India. Dutch presence in the Malabar region started with the capture of Portuguese Quilon, expanded with the Conquest of Malabar (1658–1663), and ended with the conquest of Malabar by the British in 1795.
