De Boigne was the first to settle European indigo-planters in the Aligarh district. They were Monsieur Jourdan (at Khair), Mr. Orr (at Mendu), John Thornton (at Koil and Machhuā), T. Longcroft (at Koil and Jalali), and Robinson and Stewart (at Māloi and Allahdād-pur.) Indigo was then the chief export of the district and it used to be shipped at Farrukhabad down the Ganges for Calcutta.
