The origin of the Kolkata Chinese settlement dates back to the late 18th century when Tong Achew (or Tang Dizong) a tea trader settled near present-day Budge Budge and started the first sugar mill in the country. The place later came to be known as Achipur after Tong Achew and the Kolkata Chinese still consider him as their God-father.
