Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The settlement has been around since at least the Satavahana era (3rd century BCE), when it was known as Maisolos, according to Ptolemy. In the first century BCE, Masalia is referred to in The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. The port is located on India's Coromandel Coast, which is the country's southeast coast. Kalamkari textiles and paintings made with vegetable dyes are well-known in Machilipatnam. The painting method was known as "Kalamkari Painting" since a kalam (pen) was employed in the process. Western traders were drawn to this work during the 17th century. The first British commercial settlement on the Bay of Bengal was Masulipatam (1611). The city was ruled by the French and Dutch from 1686 to 1759, when it was eventually handed to the British, who seized the city and fort from the French in 1759.
