Chatrapur is located at 19.35°N, 84.98°W. It has an average elevation of 17 m.
 * Geography==

The city's official name is Chatrapur (' Odia : ଛତ୍ରପୁର), literally meaning "Home of Lord Kali". "Chatrapur" is the anglicised form of the city's name, commonly used in and after the British era. The anglicised form is still used unofficially by people.
 * Etymology==

Chatrapur is the district headquarters of Ganjam. It has got its name from the word "Ganj-i-am", which means the Granary of the World. The Ganjam area was a part of ancient Kalinga which was occupied by Ashok in 261 BC. Though in 1757 it was French Commander Bussy, who marched into Ganjam and realized areas of tribute from federal chiefs, it was the English who ultimately defeated the French in the Decan and annexed Ganjam in 1759. The office of the Collector, Ganjam was established in 1794. With the beginning of the 20th century, struggle for amalgamation of Oriya tracts was keenly organised in Ganjam, and in 1896 Oriya was recognized as the official language. The headquarter of the district of Ganjam was abandoned in 1855 owing to an outbreak of a very dreadful epidemic fever by which 80% population of the Ganjam town was reduced. The headquarters temporarily shifted to Gopalpur, then to Berhampur and finally in and around 1902 to Chatrapur.
 * History ==
