History
The first permanent settlement in the area was in 1792 or 1793, by hunter John Quinn. Calcutta was laid out in 1810 as West Union. It had also been called Foulkstown after William Foulks, who built the first brick house there, as well as Nineveh, after the Biblical city of the same name. Finally, it was renamed after the Indian city of Kolkata, formerly Anglicized as Calcutta. A post office called Calcutta was established in 1838, and remained in operation until 1913.
