Ancient Gokanna, port and town, Trincomalee is situated on Sri Lanka’s north-eastern coast on a peninsula in the Trincomalee Bay formerly known as ‘Fort by the River’ or ‘Koddiyar.’ A major community of Indo-Aryan immigrants during the early eras, Trincomalee’s harbor changed command one after the other with the Dutch-French and then British in 1795. Trincomalee’s economy now thrives on tourism, ever since the port became commercially insignificant. The town has a rail station and a good road network with the rest of the country.
