Achine town profile
Achine (alias Achin) is a former name for what is now the province of Acer in northern Sumatra.[1] The sultanate of Aceh was a powerful and independent state in the early seventeenth century, which resisted encroachment by the Dutch.
Notes
East India Company factory, Achine
"Sir George Oxinden is consulted concerning the number of persons necessary for the factories under his presidency, and declares that sixteen will be wanted for Surat, Persia, and Sinda, four for Calicut or Cale Velha, six for Rajapur and the Deccan, and four to voyage to Achin when necessary ; a sufficient number having been entertained, it is left to Sir George and his Council to appoint them employment."[2]
