First Sepoy Mutiny took place in Vizagapatam

 

It is recorded in the Gazetteer in the London Archives.

 

The guns of the native sepoys first boomed against the East India Company in an obscure fishing village along the Coromandel Coast that was then called Vizagapatam, which is now known as Visakhapatnam.

It was 77 years before the Meerut Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, which is called as the First War of Independence, and much ahead of the Vellore mutiny of 1806 and the Barrackpore one of 1824.

The Vizagapatam mutiny took place on October 3, 1780, and this was the first sepoy mutiny in India, as coined and recorded in the Gazetteer in the London Archives.
