Non-economic considerations like preference of the entrepreneur and historical events also influence location. Many successful plants have no apparent economic reason for their present location. Robinson gives two such examples: "Mr. Ford started manufacturing motor cars in Detroit because it was his home town and Lord Nuffield selected Cowley because the in which his father was educated happened to be for sale." In India, Calcutta (now Knolkata) became an industrial center due to the East India Company. In Mughal days, cottage industries thrived near the courts of rules due to their patronage.
